November 2021 survey data from 129 practitioners and researchers on marine and coastal ecosystem restoration in Australia. The aggregated summary data was collected by CSIRO's NESP MaC Project 1.6 to understand the current state and research needs for scaling up restoration and Nature-based Solutions. The survey was open from November 8th to November 29th, 2021.
Use Cases
- Assessing practitioner perspectives on the limitations and opportunities in coastal restoration based on survey responses.
- Identifying research priorities for scaling up Nature-based Solutions for coastal hazard protection based on aggregated feedback.
- Informing the development of a national roadmap for coordinated landscape-scale restoration based on survey findings.
Strengths
- Data is aggregated for privacy, with long-form responses checked to ensure respondents are not identifiable.
- Survey received ethics approval from the CSIRO Social and Interdisciplinary Science and Human Research Ethics Committee (approval number 139/21).
- Survey design was coordinated with other related projects to avoid content overlap and ensure complementarity.
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
