Description:
Abstract:
This data layer provides the location where samples were taken in a survey
conducted by P. Pellegrino and W. Hubbard (1983)
Purpose:
This data 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.
