Abstract
This report is one component of a larger project, the overall goal of which is to aid in reducing
the spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS) in the Great Lakes basin through promotion of safe
recreation and resource use. We are doing this by studying how government and nongovernmental
organizations operating at the federal, state/provincial, and community level collectively
influence the behavior of anglers and boaters with regard to actions that can control the spread of
AIS. The objectives of the project are to: (1) characterize the outreach efforts of organizations
to discourage behaviors by anglers and boaters that can lead to the spread of AIS; and (2) involve
these organizations in activities to increase their capacity to engage in outreach efforts.
