- Description:
-
- Abstract:
-
The sediment data contained in this set were produced as part of the site description and monitoring phases of an aquaculture demonstration project. The site is located off the coast of New Hampshire in the Gulf of Maine.
- Purpose:
-
The purpose of this data layer is to make available a subset of a data set produced by Larry Ward and others at the University of New Hampshire. This data layer contains information for those samples with raw grain size data which are located on the inner continental shelf from off New Hampshire, Gulf of Maine.
