This data set represents only those data collected as part of this program during 1981-1982 and off New England. Those stations occupied in the New York Bight are not included. Although chemical analyses (organic carbon and total Kjeldahl nitrogen) were also conducted, only textural descriptions are included here. Purpose: The purpose of this data layer is to release a digital version of the sediment data published by Reid et al. (1982).
