    • Bottom Sediments -- Cape Ann to Casco Bay (FOLGER75 shapefile)

    Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

    The reconnaissance maps upon which this data set is based show the areal distribution of the major bottom sediment types covering the sea floor off eastern New England between Cape Ann and Casco Bay. The maps were intended as a guide to the future mapping of gravel, sand, silt, and clay, and because these sediments reflect the hydraulic conditions, they are also helpful for deducing the important sediment transport mechanisms.
