TEXTURE PLOTS AND GRAPHS

The following maps show pie chart displays of the texture data from the entire Gulf of Maine as well as close-ups of Boston Harbor, Great Bay, Casco Bay, and Penobscot Bay. There is also a figure which shows all the texture data included in the USGS East Coast Sediment Texture database. Those samples from this database which have other contaminant data associated with them (for instance those samples which contain Total Organic Carbon) are included in the Contaminated Sediments Database.
