Managing invasive species in Nova Scotia: public perceptions of smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) retention in the Margaree Valley – Summary of Key Results

MSA is pleased to announce that Sinead Addis under supervision of Dr. Hannah Harrison has put together some preliminary findings from her summer of work in the Margaree Valley.

 

Sinead studied community perspectives surrounding the mandatory Smallmouth bass retention order. Sinead found this topic had a range of opinions from support to opposition, all tied to a number of personal values and perceptions. When she wasn’t conducting field interviews, she helped MSA and the Semeniuk lab with research and monitoring activities.
