Welcome and thank you for taking part in this survey.

This survey is about:

• visits to the sea/coast,
• recreation and swimming in coastal waters,
• health risks linked to bacteria and viruses in coastal waters,
• and possible future policies to improve bathing water safety.

The study is conducted by universities and research institutions across Europe as part of the BlueAdapt scientific and policy research project.

Your answers may help researchers and policymakers better understand public experiences and preferences regarding coastal water quality and public health protection.
