The “Gulf Islands Sediment Budget Needs Assessment Workshop” was held, virtually, April 23–24 and May 27–28, 2020. The workshop series was organized by researchers from North Carolina State University in collaboration with National Park Service (NPS) and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) staff and was facilitated by personnel from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The final survey/questionnaire results are available as American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) delimited text files in comma-separated values (CSV) and Microsoft Excel (XLSX) file formats. This data release (Forde and Flocks, 2022) includes quantitative (GNIS_Survey_Data_April_Raw.csv, GNIS_Survey_Data_May_Raw.csv) and qualitative (GNIS_Survey_Data_Text_April_Raw.csv, GNIS_Survey_Data_Text_May_Raw.csv) survey results from two questionnaires submitted to attendees during the 2020 GINS sediment budget workshop. For additional information pertaining to workshop details and results, refer to the associated USGS Open-File Report (Seekamp and others, 2022). Purpose: The 2020 workshop series intended to identify sediment management research and data needs that could enhance natural and cultural resource stewardship at the GINS. Workshop objectives included eliciting research and data needs, with a primary goal of assessing the importance and urgency of the identified needs. This assessment was partly determined by requesting that the workshop participants identify and prioritize research themes through polls, comments, and discussion. Supplemental_Information: The workshop series (two paired, sequential, partial-day workshops) addressed two target audiences: (1) NPS and USGS staff (April workshop) and (2) regional Federal, State, county, and non-governmental organization staff, including NPS and USGS staff (May workshop). A total of four workshop sessions were held, comprised of two sessions with each target audience.

It is important to note that purposive sampling does not allow findings to be generalized and only represents the opinions of those who participated in the workshops and the online elicitations. Logical_Consistency_Report: Descriptive statistics were applied to the survey data, and open-ended questions were thematically analyzed and reviewed by the project team. Data were visualized using scatterplots (Seekamp and others, 2022) to create an importance-urgency analysis of identified research and data needs. The project team included researchers from North Carolina State University (Erin Seekamp and Courtney Hotchkiss), NPS (Kelly Irick), GINS (Linda York, Interior Region 2), and USGS (James Flocks, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center). Additionally, two facilitators from NOAA joined the project team (Caitlin Young, RESTORE Science Program; Kelly Samek, National Sea Grant Program). Completeness_Report: This dataset is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract section. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record and Seekamp and others (2022) for additional details. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: “The Gulf Islands Sediment Budget Needs Assessment Workshop” was a two-part event, held virtually, in April and May 2020, and included representatives from Federal and State agencies. The focus of the workshop was to identify and prioritize specific research needs that address seafloor change and sediment transport along barrier islands and adjacent inlets at the GINS. The workshop series sought to identify available scientific data, knowledge gaps, resources, and capabilities. Twenty-four people participated in the April 23–24, 2020 session (Seekamp and others, 2022). The April workshop, consisting of NPS and USGS staff, identified and documented research and data needs and priorities related to sediment transport and budgets at the GINS. A Qualtrics (https://www.qualtrics.com/) online survey questionnaire, which used an iterative sequence of elicitation (deliberation of results), was used to assess perceptions of the importance and urgency of GINS-specific research and data needs. Survey responses were analyzed for mean scores and visualized on topical area scatterplots for the facilitated deliberations (Seekamp and others, 2022). The survey questionnaires were structured using themes: cultural resources, natural resources, geomorphology and sediment, mapping and modeling, and policy and management. Participants were asked to rate each research and data need relative to the other needs within the theme. The response scales for importance and urgency were presented as a side-by-side matrix and measured on scales labeled: “not at all (1)”, “slightly (2)”, somewhat (3)”, “very (4)”, and “extremely (5)”. Participants were instructed to skip survey items (specific research and data needs) that they did not feel qualified to evaluate; these entries appear as blank cells in the tabular datasets. A total of 121 questions were included in the survey. Of the 24 participants attending the April workshop, 20 people completed the final elicitation survey (83 percent response rate).

This session explored regional research and data needs and the prime concerns of external partners related to the priorities established at the previous [April 23–24] workshop. Following the final elicitation from the April workshop participants, the list of research and data needs was truncated to include only those qualitatively identified as “most important and urgent” by NPS and USGS staff for use in the May workshop (Seekamp and others, 2022). At the end of the May workshop, a final Qualtrics online-elicitation survey questionnaire was administered to collect perceptions of the “most important and urgent” regional research and data needs and evaluations of the workshop (see Appendix tables 4.1 and 4.2 in Seekamp and others, 2022). A total of 78 questions were included in the survey. Of the 57 participants at the May workshop, 23 completed the final elicitation survey (40 percent response rate).
