Swimming, Snorkeling and Diving Heatmaps
Swimming, Snorkeling and Diving Heatmaps
Of the individual respondents that drew shapes valued for swimming, snorkeling or diving, 111 indicated their age, with a mean of 40 and a range from 15 to 76, where 15 was the minimum age and 76 was the maximum age. 48% of swimming, snorkeling and diving respondents that indicated their gender were male, and 52% were female.
The geographic spread of respondents for swimming, snorkeling and diving is shown below:
Number of respondents for swimming, snorkeling and diving responses from each parish.
This section contains the heatmaps produced from the swimming, snorkeling and diving 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 Swimming, Snorkeling and Diving. Readers should be able to use these maps to learn how stakeholders in the Swimming, Snorkeling and Diving 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: 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.
