Description:

Abstract:
The data summarized in this particular layer are the Opt-in Wildlife viewing users group of respondses. This group was an aggregation of repondses for the following activities: bird watching, tide pooling, and whale watching. Results from this group were summarized into cumulative polygon data, using the Oregon spatial planning unit grid.
Purpose:
The layer was designed to fit into the current regulatory framework for offshore areas of Oregon's exclusive economic zone, specifically covering the continental shelf and slope of Oregon. The layer is to be used in the marine spatial planning process for amending Oregon's Territorial Sea Plan and to help establish a baseline of Oregon's recreational ocean users.
Supplemental Information:
These data were collected collected in Spring and Summer 2010 as part of the Oregon Recreational Ocean Users Study, an effort to build a baseline use pattern for Oregon's coastal non-consumptive recreational users. The activity matrix is an index of stated importance provided by the survey respondents. This layer was created through a spatial join between the Oregon Ocean Planning Units and the survey results.

Access Constraints: None. Public Data
Use Constraints:
Data collected through an internet opt-in mode have some important limitations. Because respondents self-select to participate in the survey, the sample is neither random nor representative of the study population. For these reasons, data from the opt-in survey are not used for extrapolation or to generate findings related to demographic profile or economic impacts.
While these data were created to fit with the MMS sub-regional planning units, the layer has no legal uses.

Logical Consistency Report:
Data editing protocol was developed to ensure a consistent and accurate dataset. Each group (ocean, shore, wildlife) were edited based on certain criteria. Ocean group:
1) Clipped all polygons that covered land to the coastline, so they would only be in water.
2) Determined if polygon is too far offshore to realistically be accessed by human-powered methods, with the exception being offshore reefs, which resulted in the data being removed.
Shore group:
1) Clipped all polygons that covered waterbodies to the coastline, so they would only cover land.
2) Removed polygons that were too far inland to realistically have any influence on the shore region.
Wildlife group:
1) Polygons could be either in the water or on land, but should be within a reasonable distance to shoreline.

Other Citation Details:
MMS subblocks for the region were subsetted to create a 3 by 3 grid of planning units that fit within the existing framework. The planning unit layer consists of a grid for the marine and coastal waters of Oregon. The planning unit grid was generated by sub-setting the Minerals Management Service planning grid, to create a planning grid of 1 mile blocks (approximately). The eastern boundary of the planning unit grid was identified by selecting those planning grids that covered the nearshore coastal ocean and estuarine habitat. The western boundary of the planning grid was derived by selecting all blocks which intersected with the Rocky Reef Groundfish Essential Fish Habitat layer (Alternative B.6 of the "Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Essential Fish Habitat") produced by Oregon State Univeristy and Terralogic GIS inc.

Process Step:

Process Description:
Preliminary analyses were performed to determine the best method for summarizing and analyzing these data. These early tests included using the consumptive data processing methods and performing a kernel density. After review of these preliminary analyses, it was determined that summarizing the survey responses to the state of Oregon ocean planning grid was the most appropriate and useful. The ocean planning grid was generated by sub-dividing the Minerals Management Service planning grid to create a planning unit (PU) grid of one mile blocks. The PU grid was provided by the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development. Step included:
1) Processing raw survey data. This included: The survey responses were downloaded from the internet and the spatial data were updated with coordinate system information (WGS 1984). The spatial data were then re-projected into Albers Conical Equal Area (NAD 83). To move the process forward, the data were then imported into a geodatabase built for this analysis. The original table format was well suited for collecting information; however, it was not appropriate for the data analysis needed, and as a result, the data tables needed to be reorganized. The purpose of this reorganization was to create an activity matrix for each layer. The matrices were built so that the data could be summarized to the PU grid cells, which required that the information needed to be a number field. To do this, we converted data into an activity matrix where a number field (type - double) was added to the spatial layer for each activity (e.g., beach going, biking/hiking, surfing, etc.). The end result was a new field for each activity that was then updated with a binary value of 0 or 1 for every activity point (e.g., every surfing activity point was updated with a 1 in the matrix under the surfing column).

2) Performed spatial join with Ocean Users Study data results: After the layer was updated with the activity matrix, a spatial join was conducted on the layer and the planning unit grid. The activity fields were summarized to the planning unit cell they fell within, creating the count of respondents per activity. Grid cells with Null values removed for faster data loading and use.

3) Additional data processing steps were conducted on the opt-in cumulative point and polygon data. Instead of using binary values, we used the penny value (i.e., allocating 100 pennies over each activity use areas(s)) indicated by the survey participants. The data were then summarized to the grid cells using the same method as the last trip data and the cumulative data were then transformed into an index of stated importance. This was done by by max normalizing the grid cell values, then multiplying by 100 to put the data on a comparable scale across activities. For the max normalization we used the following equation:

Xi = ((Xy - Xmin) / (Xmax - Xmin))*100 where:

i = index value
y = grid cell value
