GLANSIS Social Science Data Hub

Data Dictionary

The GLANSIS Social Science Data Hub hosts the results of social science surveys and stakeholder interviews on issues related to aquatic invasive species throughout the Great Lakes region.

Project results, final reports, and anonymized datasets are available for download and for secondary and meta-analysis — please reach out to project PIs directly for additional details as needed.

Summary: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Division of Fish and Aquatic Conservation, and the Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force commissioned research to assess the impact of current invasive species campaigns on the behaviors of water-based outdoor recreationists. The study utilized a national online survey to determine the effectiveness of existing campaigns by targeting adult U.S. residents involved in any of seven water-based activities (freshwater fishing, saltwater fishing, motorboating, non-motorized boating, scuba diving, snorkeling, or waterfowl hunting).
