ATVs and coastal dunes -- PAPER ALERT!

Our fellow Jessica Hogan, in collaboration with Carly Sponarski and Alistair Bath have analysed perceptions of impacts of ATVs on coastal dunes among communities in NB.

Implications of their findings include:

• The baseline results of this study can be used by all-terrain vehicle(ATV) managers in New Brunswick to enhance communication methods by acknowledging the differences and similarities between the communities.

• One community may be more aware of the impacts caused to sand dunes by ATVs which may have important implications for public engagement.

• Historical and geographic context may be crucial to the community's perceptions of impact and the acceptance of ATV management.
