摘要

Scientific Literacy in America is very low compared to other developed countries. The public has a poor understanding of basic scientific principles (28% are considered scientifically literate) and outreach efforts to address this problem are limited. When looking at specific issues such as harmful algal blooms in freshwater systems there is hardly any active outreach programs. The basis for this study was to help the public understand what harmful algal blooms are and what visual indicators exist to warn of their presence. Initial surveys were conducted to find out what fishermen knew about algae and harmful algal blooms. The participants (age 11-70) had heard of algae (100%), but very few had heard of a harmful algal bloom (40%) and when the participants were pressed on the subject, few could define algae. An educational brochure was created from the baseline of data collected from the public and was distributed to the same fishing areas. A follow-up interview of these areas showed that the brochures were being taken by people, but finding those actual people proved difficult. Once brochures were viewed, many people were able to indicate something new they learned about algae such as algae produces oxygen. Scientists need to take a more active role in conveying their research to the public in order to increase scientific knowledge.
