Aquatic Nuisance Species Communications Project Final Report (Mar 2006; PDF | 92 KB) and Recommendations (Mar 2006; PDF | 164 KB)
In 2003, the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (AFWA) received a multi-state Conservation Grant to support a comprehensive, three-year project. The project addressed a national conservation need to increase effectiveness of state agency efforts to manage aquatic nuisance species (ANS). AFWA partnered with all four regional associations, four State agencies, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and numerous private partners to pilot test communication strategies. The project was recently completed in March 2006. The interactive PDF file developed for this project provides a wealth of information about ANS communications strategies and how to address ANS regulation and enforcement issues.
