    Needs and Uses: The Northeast Regional Ocean Council (NROC) is a

coordinated approach reaches across state boundaries to find and

and management. NROC's members come from varied expertise and work on 
these issues in many capacities. A social network analysis will serve 
to identify the network of people working on NROC's key issues, both 
within and outside of the organization. NROC members will voluntary 
complete a survey regarding their communications on NROC issues and 
value derived from membership. The resulting information can be used to 
evaluate the efficiency of the network, where gaps may exist, and to 
suggest additional partnerships that would benefit the Council's work.
