Abstract

The setting sparked an engaging discussion of AIS outreach opportunities with partners including members of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and other educational institutions.

The setting sparked an engaging discussion of AIS outreach opportunities with partners including members of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and other educational institutions
The Aquatic Invaders project team sponsored the special session at the Montreal Biodome, a facility that is an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA)
In light of tight budgets in research, government and educational programs around the world, the need for AIS outreach partnerships will only grow — as will the requirements to identify the social relevance, broader implications and behavior change associated with particular research projects
Summary
To help bring about change on AIS issues (e.g., management, policy, resource allocation, education), we must first understand what are the perceived or real barriers, both internal and external, and benefits of actions that facilitate change.
