There has been some in New Brunswick, but the problem has been that there's been no consistent funding. There's no group. We've heard from some other provinces that there are multiple groups working on this issue. Here it's really been a side-of-the-desk issue for other groups like the salmon groups. Other conservation organizations are working, like I am, on a volunteer basis on the invasive species file, but it's been really difficult to get any funding specifically to address coordination, education and outreach on invasive species.
It has been shown that these education programs to explain to people what the damage is and how they can prevent spreading invasive species do work, but you need to be out in the communities. You need to go to the fishing derbies and to the boat shows and be where the people are to explain this to them. You also need the equipment in place for people to be able to do what you're telling them to do in order to clean and properly inspect their boats and equipment.
