Projects for Every State Fish and Wildlife Agency and Federal Natural Resource Agency

Responsive Management has conducted research for every state fish and wildlife agency and federal natural resource agency, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Park Service, the U.S. Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the National Marine Fisheries Service. Our surveys, focus groups, personal interviews, and other data collection techniques for state and federal agencies have examined these topics and more:

Participation in outdoor recreational activities
Approval and disapproval of hunting, fishing, sport shooting, and trapping
Awareness and knowledge of the agency perceived to be responsible for managing fish and wildlife
Satisfaction with and perceptions of the benefits provided by fish and wildlife agencies
Ratings of importance and performance of fish and wildlife agency programs
Contact and interactions with fish and wildlife agency personnel
Opinions on funding for state fish and wildlife agencies
Opinions on specific fish and wildlife issues, including Chronic Wasting Disease and invasive species
Attitudes toward fish and wildlife values
Opinions on water quality and quantity issues
Opinions on threatened and endangered wildlife
Experiences with nuisance wildlife and deer-vehicle collisions
Opinions on land use and fish and wildlife management
Sources of information on fish and wildlife and the credibility of sources
Demographic characteristics of residents and how they correlate with certain attitudes and opinions
