USU + UDWR Lunch Seminar Series: Best-Worse Scaling to Explore Key Attributes Influencing Fishing Site Selection
Panel Discussion/Presentation
Blue Ribbon Fisheries (BRF) are designated to offer anglers high-quality fishing experiences in Utah’s exceptional natural settings while promoting environmental conservation. Despite their significance, limited research has examined the factors influencing anglers' preferences for these sites. This study bridges that gap using Best-Worst Scaling (BWS) and latent class modeling to identify key attributes valued by anglers. BWS assessed preferences for attributes such as catching large numbers of fish, trophy-sized fish, and enjoying nature and wildlife. Latent class modeling, crucial for uncovering unobserved heterogeneity within the angler population, revealed two distinct preference groups. One group prioritizes environmental quality and the overall fishing experience, while the other focuses more on catching large and trophy-sized fish. This approach enables the development of targeted management strategies to address the specific needs of different angler groups, leading to more effective conservation and management of BRF sites.
A light lunch will be provided for in person attendees. If you can't make it, join us via Zoom at https://usu-edu.zoom.us/j/84605245976?pwd=IbvlfiVQWuanADsG14nA68tr234C3X.1

Science Unwrapped: Celebrate Undergrad Research - Biologist Jessica Habashi
Panel Discussion/Presentation | Science Unwrapped
Science Unwrapped, the public STEM outreach program of USU's College of Science, invites inquiring of minds of all ages to participate in science learning fun. Admission is free. Each event begins with a brief science talk following by hands-on learning activities and refreshments. Our Spring 2025 theme is "Celebrate Undergrad Research" in recognition of USU's 2025 "Year of Undergraduate Research." Jan 24 Speaker: Jessica Habashi is a champion of undergraduate research. Some years ago, the biologist noted a real-world program at the USU Brigham City campus and saw it not only as a challenge to be investigated, but as a meaningful research experience for students. The challenge? Bird-window collisions on the Brigham City campus. Bird-window collisions are often not though about as a major problem, Habashi says, yet the phenomenon is threatening bird populations worldwide. Habashi and are students are studying how often these mishaps occur and how to mitigate them. In the process, Habashi is teaching scholars how to design, organize, fund, conduct and present scientifically valid research projects.
