Atlantic Southeast Region

TABLE 8g.

Table 8g shows how 154 respondents from the Atlantic Southeast coastal region rated the ease with which they communicate coastal or marine planning information to users of their planning practice, analysis, and research. Only 19% responded that communicating coastal or marine planning information is very or somewhat easy, while 36% responded that communicating coastal or marine planning information is very or somewhat difficult. More than 10% of respondents apparently do not communicate coastal or marine planning information to users, as indicated by their "Not Applicable" response.
