Next week, members of the research team will be travelling Grafton, Illinois to attend the Illinois American Fisheries Society annual meeting. Carena van Riper, Cory Suski, and Elizabeth Golebie will be presenting a talk titled “Human-nature relationships and normative beliefs influence behaviors that reduce the spread of aquatic invasive species.” In addition to the presentation, they will also seek feedback on the study design from a focus group of scientists and fisheries managers from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. We’re excited to introduce our project to others involved in fisheries research and management and look forward to their responses.
