| Title: | Puerto Rico coral reef ecosystem valuation surveys conducted from 2016-10-15 to 2017-06-21 (NCEI Accession 0173405) |
| Abstract: | Two main surveys were conducted for reef-using visitors to Puerto Rico, the Airport Survey and the CUSTOMER On-site Survey. The Airport Survey had three components: 1) On-site survey at the airport on flights leaving Puerto Rico. Information was obtained on place of permanent residence, time of arrival and departure for their current trip to Puerto Rico, number of nights in Puerto Rico on trip, number in the party 16 years and older and number in party under 16 years of age. Also demographic information (e.g. age, gender, race/ethnicity, household income and ownership of second home in Puerto Rico). Recreation activity by type of activity, mode of access (shore, private boat, rental boat or for hire boat), region of activity (five regions), and number in the party that did the activity). Number of trips to Puerto Rico and number of day spent in Puerto Rico over the last 12 month was also asked. The Airport survey was done in the winter and summer seasons). The airport survey also had two mailbacks handed to reef-using visitors after completing the On-site Airport survey; an expenditures and satisfaction mailback. Detailed expenditures were obtained and the number in the party the expenditures covered. The satisfaction mailback obtained ratings on 25 natural resource attributes, facilities and services on both importance and satisfaction with each item. Special issue questions were also included here. The CUSTOMER On-site survey was done at hotels, marinas, dive shops, charter/guide boat access points, parks and beaches where reef-using visitors could be found. This survey obtained activity participation and use as in the Airport On-site survey, but added the dimension of intensity of use measured in person-days and number of dives for snorkeling and SCUBA diving. Again this was done by region and season. this survey also included the willingness to pay questions for the non-market economic values of reef attribute conditions.The survey also included demographic information as the Airport Survey. |
