National Coral Reef Monitoring Program: Socioeconomic Secondary Data (human population, economic impacts of fishing and tourism, community well being, physical infrastructure and governance) in American Samoa from 1995 to 2018 (NCEI Accession 0191552)

browse graphicPreview graphic
This dataset is a compilation and synthesis of secondary data in American Samoa corresponding to the following topics: Human population changes near coral reefs, Economic impact of coral reef fishing to jurisdiction, Economic impact of dive/snorkel tourism to jurisdiction, Community well-being, Physical infrastructure, and Governance. Data are collected from a variety of publicly available sources to supplement primary data collected through resident surveys. These secondary data are collected to address topics outside the scope of NCRMP resident surveys, and are collected on an annual basis throughout the US coral reef jurisdictions.

The primary data that were collected as part of this study in American Samoa are available in NCEI Accession 0167228.

The references documented in NCRMP_socio_secondarydata_dictionary_data_sources.csv represent the sources that were accessed across all seven jurisdictions surveyed for a specific variable. In some cases the source may only be applicable to a subset of the seven locations surveyed as part of the National Coral Reef Monitoring Program. Null values are represented in the data with a ".".

The values in the date column represent the year the data were collected. They were all normalized to January 1st of the specific year to facilitate date searches within the data files.
Purpose The National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP) details a long-term approach to provide an ecosystem perspective via monitoring climate, fish, benthic, and socioeconomic variables in a consistent and integrated manner. The NCRMP in intended to coordinate various Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) biological, physical, and human dimensions activities into a cohesive NOAA-wide effort. Through the implementation of the NCRMP, NOAA will be able to clearly and concisely communicate results of national-scale monitoring to national, state, and territorial policy makers, resource managers, and the public on a periodic basis. The main partners for the NCRMP socioeconomic component are CRCP and NCCOS.
