Why are casinos and refineries coded separately?
Casinos and refineries are large industries, often located in coastal areas. However, their connection to the ocean is subject to debate. hence, data on casinos and refineries are presented as separate industries within the sectors so that users can decide whether to include them in their own Ocean Economy data. However, users should note that the large size and small numbers of these establishments make them particularly vulnerable to data suppressions for confidentiality purposes. Thus data on these two industries are shown for only those counties where there are more than three casinos or refineries.
