a. Responses to Question #13 (What other data needs do you have to best support your planning practice/ analysis/research?) are provided in the Raw Survey Response Matrix.

Table 11b lists 21 data sets for which Atlantic Southeast coastal region respondents were asked to assess their needs to support their planning practice, analysis, and research.

The five data sets with the highest percentage of respondents indicating they had no need are:

Navigational (44%);

Bathymetric Elevation (43%);

Benthic Environmental Data (40%);

Marine Jurisdictional Boundaries (36%); and

Relative Sea Level Rise (19%).

The five data sets with the highest percentage of respondents indicating they needed current data are:

Archaeological/Cultural Resources (66%);

Land Elevation (64%);

Marine Jurisdictional Boundaries (54%);

Aerial/Satellite Imagery (50%); and

Navigational (45%).

The five data sets with the highest percentage of respondents indicating they needed time-series data are:

Land Cover and Land Cover Change (51%);

Land Use (40%);

Aerial/Satellite Imagery (39%);

Building Quantities & Types (36%); and

Water Quality (36%).

The five data sets with the highest percentage of respondents indicating they needed data projections are:

Relative Sea Level Rise (39%);

Population Counts (38%);

Population Attributes (36%);

Risk Management Data (32%); and

Economic Output by Business Sector (31%).
