Great Lakes Region

TABLE 8i.

Table 8i shows how 110 respondents from the Great Lakes coastal region rated the ease with which they communicate coastal or marine planning information to users of their planning practice, analysis, and research. Less than 15% responded that communicating coastal or marine planning information is very or somewhat easy, while nearly 31% responded that communicating coastal or marine planning information is very or somewhat difficult. Nearly 13% of respondents apparently do not communicate coastal or marine planning information to users, as indicated by their "Not Applicable" response.
