Hello,
Does anyone have examples of programs designed to change behavior related to the prevention of aquatic nuisance species spread (i.e. washing off boats to prevent transportation of zebra mussels).
Regards,
Anne Lewis

Aquatic Nuisance Species

Anne,
In the fall of 2006, the Northeast Aquatic Nuisance Species Panel (NEANS) worked on developing several social marketing strategies to prevent the spread of invasive aquatic species. One strategy was designed to encourage boaters to check their boats and remove plants and animals. You can find contact information for NEANS at http:// www.northeastans.org/
Regards,
Jan

Maine has a education and enforcement blend approach to limiting invasive aquatics. It's described at http://www.maine.gov/dep/blwq/topic/invasives/index.htm
