Identify Missing Information - Find records with redacted or missing data

The needed_records() function identifies records with flags, therefore withheld. This indicates that information is withheld from these records due to endangered species status, for example. Accessing this information may require a permit. Or, these records can be removed from the data set with remove_redacted().

Value

A data frame with only records for which locality was flagged as redacted or missing. Information about the columns in the returned data frame can be found in the documentation for gators_download().
