Sherren, Kate; McWherter, Brooke; Howard, Samantha C — 2024-04-04 These data were collected through an online survey hosted on Qualtrics software. The survey was designed to understand perceptions and use of coastal landscapes, specifically dykes, dykelands, and tidal wetlands, along with perceptions of coastal adaptation options, among residents of the Minas Basin region of Nova Scotia, around the Bay of Fundy. Recruitment was conducted in November/December 2023 through a single Canada Post admail mailout of all apartment residents in Kings, Hants, Cumberland and Colchester counties (approximately n=9057) with a response rate of 1.9% (n=168), recognizing that undeliverables could not be tracked. Participants were rewarded with the option to enter to win a Tim Horton's or Irving gift card. Permission to make data public was a condition of participation, and all 'free text' questions have been removed to avoid the possibility of identification.
