Hi everyone! My name is Hannah, and I am part of a research team at Middle Tennessee State University studying how people respond to conservation messages about Tennessee’s rivers and waterways.

If you have spent time on a Tennessee river or blueway, whether paddling, fishing, floating, or simply enjoying the water - I would love to hear from you!

We are conducting a short, voluntary survey, and your input can help us better understand how conservation efforts can be communicated across Tennessee’s blueways!

Who can participate:
- Adults ages 18 and older

What’s involved:
- A quick survey, about 5-10 minutes or less
- Minimal risk, similar to everyday activities
- No direct benefit, but your feedback may help support conservation efforts
- Confidential responses

Take the survey here!

If you have questions about your rights as a participant, please contact the MTSU Office of Compliance at 615-494-8918 or [email protected]

Thank you for helping our research team better understand and protect Tennessee’s waterways! 💧
