Navigating Public Perceptions: Exploring the Complex Social Dynamics of Invasive Species Management in Public Waters

Amanda Heinzmann, Olesya M. Savchenko, Candice Prince, and James Leary

In this publication, we present an overview of stakeholder concerns regarding hydrilla management, synthesizing insights gathered from the largest state-wide survey of Florida residents about invasive aquatic plant management in the state’s public waters. Our objective is to equip decision-makers, including agencies like FWC, with valuable insights. By understanding stakeholder concerns, decision-makers can formulate policies for the effective management of aquatic invasive species that garner public support.
