This document summarizes a study on the effects of navigational dams on the feeding morphology of two predatory fish species in the Ohio River. Measurements of mouth morphology, such as jaw length and gape width, were collected from specimens of freshwater drum (Aplodinotus grunniens) and bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) caught from different pools. Principal component analysis found the freshwater drum from the glaciated valley pool had differing mouth morphology compared to those from alluvial valley pools, indicating differences in available prey. Jaw length was the most influential morphological measurement and varies between life stages and prey selection. Further research is needed to better understand differences in diet between populations.

The article presents an assessment of the implications of the use of traditional practices and belief systems on natural resource conservation, using a case of selected communities in Ghana (Fomena, Tepa, Tanoso, and Ejisu). The study adopted both qualitative and quantitative research approach to achieve the formulated objectives. A total of 208 (52 each) respondents were selected mainly by convenient and snowballing sampling techniques. Data were collected using both unstructured interview guides and questionnaires. The study revealed that taboos, totems, and customary practices are the major instruments used in the conservation and management of rivers in the study areas. However, it was realized that the traditional measures are challenged by the influence of western religion, education and modernity, increasing immigration resulting in a high number of foreigners, civilization and sometimes ignorance. The study recommends the traditional authorities, families as well as clergymen for people to appreciate the differences in African traditions and African religion should undertake that massive sensitization. Also, government or agencies (like the Environmental Protection Agency and the local assembly unit) responsible for taking care of the environment and its resources should incorporate the traditional measures in their policies and action plans toward natural or environmental resource conservation and management like water bodies.

The last frontier of the country’s distinctive center of biodiversity
Payne casiopa2013
The document discusses the potentials and pitfalls of using rapid assessments for visitor management in parks and protected areas. Rapid assessments could involve analyzing existing visitor impact data, survey results, or social media data as a substitute for more comprehensive research. While rapid assessments have the benefits of being quick and using existing information, they have limitations due to gaps in data and agency capacity for analysis. Social media offers high potential for understanding visitor experiences but numbers of posts vary significantly between areas. Overall, rapid assessments all have tradeoffs compared to traditional research methods.
Cycling and Sustainability: Two Wheels Good, Four Wheels Bad

Paper presented at the 4th International Lake Tourism Conference, Thunder Bay, Canada, June 22, 2009.
Casiopa 2009
The document discusses research needs in the human dimensions of parks and protected areas. It identifies several key areas that require further research: 1) broad and in-depth research on topics from park establishment to evaluation; 2) collection and analysis of various data types including visitor activities; and 3) development of capacity through social science training and knowledge in using data to inform management. Partnerships with universities, communities and other organizations are also needed.
Understanding Intentional Harm to Snakes and Turtles: A Focus Group Approach
This document outlines a focus group protocol to explore motivations for intentionally harming snakes and turtles. The focus groups will recruit property owners and drivers from areas where snakes and turtles are prevalent to understand why some people engage in harmful behaviors like killing snakes on their property or swerving to hit snakes and turtles while driving. The theory of planned behavior will be used to help identify factors like attitudes, social norms, and perceived control that influence intentions and behaviors regarding snakes and turtles. Key questions will probe participants' feelings and perspectives on snakes and turtles, scenarios where harmful acts may be acceptable, and how they think others view these acts. Responses will help design a follow-up survey and education program.
Recreational Fishers And MPAs
This document reviews literature on recreational fishers' perspectives on establishing and managing marine protected areas (MPAs). It finds that while some recreational fishers support MPAs to increase fish populations, others oppose them as interfering with fishing. Views differ based on factors like how attached people are to the area. More research is needed on how displacement may affect fishers and how to best involve fishers in decision-making around MPA establishment and management.
Mis Management Of The Coastal Zone
The document discusses coastal zone management issues along Ontario's Lake Huron shoreline. It describes various economic activities like agriculture, tourism, and water supply that occur along the coast. However, these activities are not well managed and can negatively impact the environment. The current provincial planning framework prioritizes development over local and environmental concerns. The conclusion is that new coastal management legislation is needed to better balance economic and environmental interests, as the current system fails to incorporate local perspectives.
Towards A Human Dimensions Research Agenda For Parks
Human dimensions research examines human behaviors and interactions with natural environments. It uses interdisciplinary approaches from social sciences and humanities to understand perspectives on environmental management and inform policymaking. The document outlines four key research themes in human dimensions for parks and protected areas: 1) Understanding and managing human use; 2) Situating parks within regional socioeconomic contexts; 3) Evaluating management effectiveness; and 4) Analyzing institutional arrangements. It calls for further research on changing demographics, funding, data sharing, and training to advance the field.
Research Agenda for Protected Areas in Northwestern Onatrio
The document discusses developing a research agenda for parks and protected areas in northwestern Ontario. It describes a workshop held with various stakeholders to identify priority research areas. The workshop identified four main research focus areas: the representation and value of protected areas; the effects of visitors on parks; fire and natural disturbance regimes; and issues related to co-managing parks with First Nations.
