Description

The data in this file come from a survey of adult residents in American Samoa. The survey was conducted for a random stratified sample of households on Tutuila in American Samoa in January and February of 2014. These data were collected to record baseline human dimensions information and socioeconomic characteristics of American Samoa's coral reef adjacent populations such as human use patterns, management support/opposition, and knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of coral reefs/coral reef management. These baseline data are being used as a starting point for socioeconomic monitoring of American Samoa's coral reefs. Data were collected through the face to face interview method, and the total sample size for this survey was 448.
