Holden Beach Property Owners Association

Students at Duke University are conducting a survey of Holden Beach property owners regarding beach erosion on the east end of the island and proposed solutions (e.g., terminal groin).  The survey is associated with a class at Duke’s Nicholas School of the Environment in which groups of graduate students work with clients to develop and conduct a survey. 

 The purpose of the survey is to understand: 1) How property owners in Holden Beach perceive the effects of beach erosion, 2) Property owners’ opinions about the potential benefits of different proposed solutions, and 3) Property owners’ preferences for various erosion intervention solutions.

The survey takes about five minutes to complete, and can be accessed by clicking here:  https://duke.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_cGFDBwsslqbirfT

Please take the survey so that your opinions can be captured!  We will distribute the results as soon as they are available, which will be before the end of the spring semester at Duke.

UPDATE:  The survey is now closed so the grad students can do their analysis.
