Online survey: 'Mariner Mental Health Needs During COVID-19'


An online survey, "Mariner Mental Health Needs During COVID-19," is being conducted by the University of Washington School of Public Health. The U.S. Committee on the Marine Transportation System (CMTS) COVID-19 Working Group is encouraging mariners to participate in the survey, which can be completed anonymously through May 31, 2021.

As noted by the CMTS, the Ship Operations Cooperative Program (SOCP) - whose members include vessel owners/operators, mariner unions, maritime academies, maritime training institutions, classification societies, other maritime industry stakeholders and government agencies - is actively supporting this project to enhance the mental well-being of U.S. mariners.

An overview is available on the U.S. Coast Guard Maritime Commons blog.
