Reducing Non-Source-Point Phosphorous

(http://www NULL.beyondattitude NULL.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/NVCAlogo NULL.jpg)
Thanks to NVCA for sharing their report.
Over at cbsm.com (http://www NULL.cbsm NULL.com/forums/index NULL.lasso?p=10137#mostrecent) there has been a request for information on Community-Based Social Marketing research for non-source-point phosphorous reduction. In particular, there is interest in reducing fertilizer use and creating vegetative buffers. I have received several emails from people who would like the reports I mentioned in a comment.

Lura Consulting has conducted CBSM research on this topic in 4 areas over the last 3 years, for different clients. I previously posted the report for Rondeau Bay, which looked at near-shore nutrient reduction amongst residents, and you can download it by visiting this blog post (http://www NULL.beyondattitude NULL.com/2011/07/26/cbsm-strategy-for-phosphorous-reduction/). I am posting the Innisfil Creek report here (http://www NULL.beyondattitude NULL.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/InnisfilCreekFinalReport NULL.pdf), so people can download it as well. The Innisfil Creek project addressed agricultural sources, and gathered information from a focus group of phosphorous experts. Thanks to our client, the Nottawasaga Conservation Authority (http://www NULL.nvca NULL.on NULL.ca/), for giving us permission to publish the report here so it could be shared with others.

I will seek permission from our other clients to share the two other reports that I have. The other two projects are related to these two, and both address residential issues and behaviours. Once they are available, I will post a note to cbsm.com. But I also suggest you subscribe for notifications on my blog so that you will be sure to know when I post them.

Any questions or thoughts, leave a comment below or send me an email.

Beyond Attitude Consulting acknowledges we operate in Mi’kma’ki – the unceded territory and ancestral homeland of the Mi’kmaq First Nation. Our relationship is based on a series of Peace and Friendship treaties between the Mi’kmaq First Nation and the Crown, dating from 1725 to 1779. In 1999 the Supreme Court of Canada, in R v Marshall, upheld the 1752 treaty “which promised Indigenous Peoples the right to hunt and fish their lands and establish trade.” 

We also acknowledge that we work and play in many unceded territories and ancestral homelands of Indigenous Peoples across North America, and respect the rights and traditions of the many First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples therein.

We are all Treaty People.
