Survey of participants in USGS-TNC Gulf Coast wetlands workshops 2017
This data is from a survey of participants in four workshops hosted by USGS researchers in collaboration with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in communities along the Gulf Coast in 2017. The workshops were part of the Landscape conservation design project, funded separately by the USGS. The current project had no role in identifying or selected coastal managers with whom to speak; that was the responsibility of the Landscape conservation design project and occurred before the involvement of the current project team. These data are particular to the interactions between the Landscape conservation design project team and the particular coastal managers who engaged with their project. The workshops were held in: Milton, FL; Punta Gorda, FL; Biloxi, MS; Mobile, AL; and Lake Charles, LA. Participants in the workshop were generally coastal resource managers. The goal of the workshops was to provide Gulf Coast resource managers and planners with climate change and sea level rise information relevant to their management decisions. The goal of the survey was to understand the extent to which the workshops, and any subsequent follow-up with the USGS and TNC researchers, provided useful information to those decision makers and to use that information to help the USGS and TNC teams reflect on their project outcomes. The survey asked participants for feedback about the utility of the workshops and their experiences receiving additional data products from USGS and TNC hosts. The survey was sent to the 111 people who participated in one of the workshops. 25 people completed the survey. This data pertains only to these four workshops and should not be generalized to other Gulf Coast communities or other USGS or TNC research projects. While the low response rate is not unusual for a post-workshop survey delivered via email after the workshop has concluded, the low response rate adds to the non-generalizability of the data.
