Anyone over the age of 18 who has freshwater fished within the last year is eligible to take this!

Hi I’m Evan, a PhD student @UMass Amherst who studies complex social ecological issues using innovative and novel social science techniques. My dissertation focuses on human wildlife conflicts such as depredation in marine systems and how anglers perceive threats in freshwater systems.

Having read the replies to most of these posts and, as a social scientist, the fact that these replies are about the posts themselves with scientists chiming in, reinforces the message of the paper that this app is in a better place now than Twitter, because of conversations like this.

Others can speak more to this but I’ve been on a couple guided trips for striped bass the last couple years and the guides have said they’ve seen more sand tigers and know where they like to hang out.

That does fit within my surveys scope. Would you be willing to put me in touch? My email is [email protected]

How so?

The survey aims to understand the most pressing threats to freshwater anglers in the United States and Canada!
