22 December 2021
Help us to better understand the British and Irish boating community and find the best education materials to suit you.
This 15-30 minute anonymous questionnaire asks recreational boaters and paddlers about your boating activities, your knowledge of invasive non-native animals and plants, and the actions you could take to prevent the inadvertent spread of these hitch-hikers. You do not need any previous knowledge about invasive non-native animals or plants to take part.
