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 the islands of Tutuila and Manu’a from May 17 to September 15 2021. These data are the second monitoring cycle for assessing American Samoa residents’ socioeconomic characteristics, human use patterns, and knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of coral reefs and coral reef management. These data are also used to compare changes in American Samoa residents’ socioeconomic characteristics since the first round of monitoring that occurred in 2014 in American Samoa. Data were collected through a face to face interview method, and the total sample size for this survey was 1,318 respondents. Survey weights were created to adjust for the sample design and non-response, and then calibrated using 2010 US Census data so that the weighted dataset is representative of American Samoa’s resident population.

Purpose The National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP) details a long-term approach to provide an ecosystem perspective via monitoring climate, fish, benthic, and socioeconomic variables in a consistent and integrated manner. The NCRMP in intended to coordinate various Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) biological, physical, and human dimensions activities into a cohesive NOAA-wide effort. Through the implementation of the NCRMP, NOAA will be able to clearly and concisely communicate results of national-scale monitoring to national, state, and territorial policy makers, resource managers, and the public on a periodic basis.
