Have you ever seen a bat on board? These might be questions that you are not pondering every day, but we would like to get your answers to those! Currently there is a study being made with the focus on hitchhiking bats on Great Lakes freighters. We have heard that some people have seen bats on board, and weve even received some photographic evidence, but how common these sightings are, it remains a mystery. And we would like to solve this mystery! In order to be able to solve it, we made a short online questionnaire targeted to regular Lake sailors. This questionnaire takes approximately 10 minutes to complete, so we are not asking for a huge commitment time-wise. It is also completely anonymous, if you wish so, and all the information obtained will be confidential. So if you are a regular sailor, and think that you would like to participate, please head over to the questionnaire in the following web address: https://elomake.helsinki.fi/lomakkeet/53403/lomake.html If you would like to get some more information about the study, there is also a forum post in the Regional Discussion section of the Boatnerd discussion forums. It is open for questions and discussion about the study, bats or hitchhiking. We hope that we get as many responses as we can, so if you know some regular sailors, please let them know about this study! All the responses are helpful, so if youve seen a bat once, that is also valuable information for us. So do not hesitate, and please share your knowledge with us. - Saska Lohi - Michigan Tech University / the University of Helsinki via Boatnerd
