Identification_Information: Citation: Citation_Information: Publication_Date: 1980 Title: Jones and Schubel, 1980: Distributions of surficial sediment and eelgrass in Great South Bay, New York (from Smith Point, West to Wantagh State Parkway) Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: document Online_Linkage: Description: Abstract: The objectives of this study were to map the texture of the surficial sediments, their organic content, and the distribution of eelgrass. This report summarizes the data in tabular form (Appendix 1) and on a series of maps (packet). Tabulated data are presented as percent (by mass) of gravel (> 2.0 mm), sand (> 62.5 um, (silt (> 3.9 um>, clay (<3.9 um), shell fragments and organic carbon content for each sample. A station location map and contour maps of percent (by mass) silt plus clay, organic carbon, depth and eelgrass have been prepared and are located in a packet at the end of the report. (Jones and Schubel, 1980, p. 1) Purpose: The purpose of this data layer is to release a digital version of the textural descriptions published by Jones and Schubel (1980) for inclusion in the usSEABED data collection.
