Abstract | In this study, the behavior and attitude patterns of high school juniors and seniors in northeastern Wisconsin have been examined with respect to recreational activities and water quality conditions. Most popular activities were identified in order as swimming, boating, fishing, waterskiing, sailing, and duck hunting. Location of participation in water-based recreational activity was determined and variables pertinent to particupation/non-participation were examined. Water quality evaluations by the students indicated that they seemed to be more concerned with the cosmetics of water quality (dead fish, unpleasant smell, and "junk at the bottom") than by harmful bacteria or chemicals in the water. The authors see the findings of the study as indicating that while students may be concerned, they do not seem to exhibit a level of environmental knowledge beyond that of the rest of the population even though their schools had recently made intensive environmental education efforts.
