Despite the best intentions, incomplete and inconsistent performance of behaviors that prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species leaves Minnesota waterways at-high risk for infestation. To influence boating anglers’ intentions to perform required behaviors, we developed and tested messaging in traditional sign formats and contemporary augmented reality formats. Learn about the results of these tests and if and how message medium impacted boater intentions.
