Fire Island National Seashore Sediment Grain Size and CMECS Classification Data

Published by National Park Service | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 04:07 AM | Dataset Last Updated: April 19, 2017 at 12:00 AM
Sediment Grain Size and CMECS Classification Data used to construct benthic habitat maps for FIIS. The ground-truth surveys involved the collection of surficial grab samples of the seafloor, sediment profile imagery (SPI), and underwater video. The three instruments were deployed together, allowing for co-located datasets. Combined, these datasets help provide a thorough understanding of the study areas, as they capture sediment and biological community characteristics at various spatial scales and resolutions.
