Fish Outreach and Engagement Survey
Despite desert fish populations declining and disappearing throughout the United States and Mexico, we rarely see consistent attention or public support (e.g., from local communities, policymakers, environmental organizations) in terms of their conservation. Without directed and sustained species conservation efforts there will be a continued decline in these unique and ecologically valuable fish species.
As part of this ongoing project conducted through Oregon State University, we are aiming to investigate outreach, opinions, and the theoretical foundation for greater desert fish engagement and identify methods for lasting support through the attached survey. We hope to gain insight from fisheries organizations or aquatic scientists (not limited to desert fish) that may be used to increase recognition in the future. To make this project as informational as possible we would greatly appreciate your responses by October 1st, which should take less than five minutes to complete. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts!
