Title:
Sediment grab descriptions (Excel spreadsheet format), western Long Island Sound (2023)
Abstract:
This Excel spreadsheet provides sediment description information for samples obtained with a Ponar grab sampler during R/V Lowell Weicker surveys of western Long Island Sound in June 2023. The sampling was done as part of the Long Island Sound mapping project Phase 3A. A photo of each sample was taken and the samples were described visually in the field. Based on the findings a preliminary lithology was determined. A sub-sample of the top two centimeters was taken and stored in a jar for later analysis. Sample location is based on the ship DGPS system. This project was made possible by the Long Island Sound Research and Restoration Fund, established by a Memorandum of Understanding among the members of the Policy Committee of the Long Island Sound Management Conference and administered by Long Island Sound Cable Fund Steering Committee.
