Bermuda Ocean Prosperity Programme: Ocean Use Survey

Tourism & Boating Heatmaps


Tourism & Boating

  • This page summarizes the demographic data collected for the tourism and boating sectors and presents the heatmaps that were created using the survey responses.
  • Note that demographic data do not reflect group responses, as those details were not collected for each person represented in a group response, just the individual interacting with the survey.

Overview

Of the individual respondents that drew shapes valued for tourism, 3 indicated their age, with a mean of 49 and a range from 17 to 56, where 17 is the minimum age and 56 is the maximum age. 33% of tourism respondents that indicated their gender were male, and 67% were female. 

The respondents for tourism that indicated their parish of residence (n = 3) were residents of Sandy’s and Warwick.

Of the individual respondents that drew shapes for boating, 92 indicated their age, with a mean of 45 and a range from 14 to 76, where 14 is the minimum age and 76 is the maximum age. 67% of boating respondents that indicated their gender were male, and 33% were female. 

The geographic spread of respondents for boating is shown below, with the most respondents from Pembroke, and the least from Hamilton.

Number of respondents for boating responses from each parish.

Heatmaps - Tourism

This section contains the heatmaps produced from the tourism responses. Heatmaps are a representation of data (in this case, data presented as a series of maps) where values are represented as colors: Hot or High Values are on the red end of the scale, while cold or Low Values are on the Blue color scale. All heatmaps in this section are sector based calculations of Use and Value produced directly from OUS responses for tourism. Readers should be able to use these maps to learn how stakeholders in the tourism sector value ocean space in Bermuda.

Two online platforms were used to collect OUS responses: SeaSketch and Maptionnaire. Respondents could submit responses individually or as a group, and responses could also be given a spatial weight.

All Responses, Weighted

All Responses: Maps labeled as “all” were created using all the responses collected for the given sector from both SeaSketch and Maptionnaire.

Weighted: Maps labeled “weighted” were created by dividing the value assigned to a shape by its area in km2, and then summing the total value per pixel across all respondents for a given sector. High value areas (red) therefore reflect areas chosen by many respondents as well as areas that respondents value particularly highly.
