Description:

Abstract:

As a portion of the monitoring performed for the Sarasota Bay National Estuary Program, Mote Marine Laboratory also conducted a sediment monitoring program. This task was to determine the degree of sediment contamination for selected classes of compounds, in particular toxic metals and organics. Sampling and analyses were performed for 105 stations in 35 different regions. Regions were selected in areas where gradients were expected to be present (tributaries, marina operations, known discharges and the like), but were primarily located within Sarasota Bay proper or only short distances upstream in various tributaries.

Purpose:

The purpose of this data layer is to create a digital version of the sedimentary characteristics published by Dixon (1992) for inclusion in the usSEABED data collection.
