About the Vision 2032 Survey
The Narragansett Bay Estuary Program created a 31-question survey to gather input from residents of the Narragansett Bay region about their perspectives on a wide variety of topics related to Narragansett Bay, the Coastal Ponds, Little Narragansett Bay, and their watersheds. (Click here for a full list of survey questions.)
We asked residents to reflect on the nature, waterways, and green spaces in and around their communities, and how those spaces interact with development, human health. What do they like? What would they change?

The survey responses represent perspectives from across the Narragansett Bay watershed, with the majority of responses coming from Rhode Island residents.
Most survey respondents rated the condition of waters and waterfronts in their communities to be “a little polluted” or “very unsafe.”

A majority of survey respondents have experienced flooding in their communities.
Respondents generally do not feel that they have plentiful, convenient opportunities to share their perspectives about the outdoors with local leaders.
Respondents expressed neutral to negative attitudes about the impacts of residential development on their towns.
