Hello Community Members!
A solution to last week’s challenge can be found here.
It's time to put your spatial skills to the test again! This challenge, submitted by Claire McCollough (@clmc9601), will challenge you to use the Designer Spatial palette efficiently.
You are provided with two datasets. The first dataset contains polygons representing the counties of Maine, a state in the USA. The second dataset contains a polygon representing the Gulf of Maine, located in the nearby waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
Your tasks are to:
- Identify which Maine county has the longest coastline on the Gulf of Maine. (Exclude any islands smaller than 5 kilometers.)
- Determine which county has the most small islands. (An island is considered small if it is less than 5 square kilometers.)

Happy solving!

Spoiler
I wasn't sure whether to use Spatial Process or Spatial Match, so I did both and thankfully got the same answer.
