1. Forestry: reporting areas too large, data old, hard to separate 

 coastal from inland data 



2. Firewood use, value, and demand expectations 



3. Gravel and sand: location, value, amount 



4. Agricultural: coastal crops, value, accurate amounts (acreage) of 

 productive crop land 



5. Fisheries: sport fish (salt water, migratory, and estuarine) , finfish 

 values by area caught and landed 



6. Wildlife: accurate trap-tag data by species and town 



7. Fresh water: fresh groundwater amounts for coastal areas. 



All data based on the population census of 1970 are estimates and in some 

 cases are thought to be in error. This is especially true in Washington 

 County, where the 1970 census showed gains in the populations of nearly all 

 the towns after 70 years of losses. Information on net migration and the 

 growth of the coastal towns by in-migration is lacking and is of major 

 importance. 



With the exception of Washington County, existing land-use data appear to be 

 available for the coastal zone, although the data are not comparable from 

 region to region. Projections for future demand of various uses and the 

 pattern or trend of these developments are lacking for regions 2 to 6. 



No data are available on the numbers of people using recreation facilities or 

 the amount of money spent at nonsupervised, private or quasi public 

 facilities. Similar data are lacking for recreational boating and fishing.
