Research Proposal Grant

This proposal is about changing policy effects on Moroccan Artisanal fishers and business. This proposal does a good job of laying out what the IRB restrictions will be and how they will follow IRB protocol in their interviewing methods.

The research question that the proposal gives is, “what are the effects of the declining fisheries and the recent policy focus in coastal fishing economies along the Moroccan coast on inshore artisanal fishers and businesses directly associated with fishing”? While this question is concise, it is missing the actual data type. For this question to be more accurate, it should mention something about the reports of fishermen, as the data type is Reports on Acts and Behaviors.

As previously stated, through in-depth interviews, the data type would be reports on Acts and Behaviors. The logical structure would be descriptive while the location site that is mentioned is the Moroccan Coast Line. How the data would actually be analyzed is missing, but would be easy to infer or add.

One main thing that is missing is a budget and materials. Other than that, I feel that this proposal is good and informative.
