CBCW Resources for the AIS LMPN Partnership

Members of the AIS Lake Monitoring and Protection Network (LMPN) Partnership can access all CBCW training resources via the AIS Partnership Box file sharing site. If you are a part of the AIS LMPN, please contact Jeanne Scherer​ about gaining access to the Box.

Workshop Presentation Template

During a CBCW workshop, trainers should cover three main topics thoroughly: the issues of AIS in Wisconsin, the role watercraft inspection plays in addressing this issue, and how inspectors can converse with people about AIS at the boat landing. The template presentation below provides the framework for covering these topics, but can be customized to address the AIS of concern in your area​ and fit the needs of your participants, whether they are long time veterans of the program who simply need a refresher or new citizens looking to be trained.
 

MANY AIS profiles are included in this presentation. Please narrow the list of species you include in your presentation to those most pertinent to your area. Notes are included with each slide.

Inspection Video Scenarios

There are seven online videos depicting various scenarios that watercraft inspectors may experience at the boat landing. These videos are meant to complement the CBCW workshop, not replace it, and will hopefully be useful for inspectors as they form their own conversational approach at the landing. These videos can become part of your CBCW training or serve as resources for inspectors to view post-workshop.

The video scenarios, along with descriptions of each scenario and the take-home message, can be found on our CBCW Resources webpage.
