This questionnaire is the result of Charlotte Brockington MSc. Charlotte's project aims to study how fish respond to disturbances by recreation activities such as boating, angling, swimming, cycling, and walking. If fish become habituated to the disturbances from recreational activities, they could then be at risk of predation due to their lack of avoidance behaviours. The information gathered from 230 questionnaires, experiment lab work and literature review will help inform river users management plans. This one year MSc was funded by the KESS2 project in collaboration with Canoe Wales, and Natural Resources Wales.
