POSTER PRESENTER TITLE: Assessing Behaviors of Trout Anglers Related to Aquatic Invasive Species in the Upper Mississippi Basin ABSTRACT: This presentation will be an overview of our research project surveying trout anglers in the Driftless Region about their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors regarding invasive species prevention. Wading anglers are water users that may accidentally move aquatic invasive species into streams in the Upper Mississippi River Basin. We are currently surveying anglers from Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin to understand what prevention actions they are currently performing while gathering information that can better target prevention messages to these anglers. Natural resource managers will be able to use this information to create and implement better aquatic invasive species outreach programs, while wading anglers will benefit from this information through the adoption of more sustainable fishing activities.
