Description:
Abstract:
This GIS layer provides the location where samples were taken in a survey
conducted by P.L. McCall (1975)
Purpose:
This GIS layer, which focuses on benthic communities, was developed as
part of a cooperative project between the University of New Haven, the
Connecticut DEP, and the U.S. Geological Survey. Benthic communities are
an integral component of the ecology of LIS. Understanding the role that
spatial heterogeneity plays in the dynamic of benthic landscapes may be
a key to developing a better understanding of the estuarine ecology and
the impacts of huuman activity. The purpose of providing this data layer
is to help establish a regional framework for developing a more extensive
GIS for benthic communities in LIS that can be used for education, research,
and environmental management.

Process_Description:
Sediment samples were collected by grab sampler and were wet sieved to
remove the mud fraction. Coarse fractions were stored in formalin until
individual species specimens could be identified and counted with a binocular
microscope under reflected light.

Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
The original studies were conducted to describe the effect of disturbance
on the benthic communities in lIS; the corresponding data layer is presented
to show where information is available.
