b. Responses to Question #15 (What other coastal decision support tools (including models) would improve your planning practice/analysis/research?) are provided in the Raw Survey Response Matrix.

Table 5e lists 36 tools for which Atlantic Southeast coastal region respondents were asked to rate their importance for planning practice, analysis, and research. The five tools with the highest percentage of very high or high importance ratings from respondents are:

The five tools with the highest percentage of low or very low importance ratings from respondents are:

The tools with more than 25% of respondents rating the tool as "Not Applicable" are:
