    • Sediment Texture

    Metadata Updated: May 22, 2025

    These data show point sample sediment location and texture within the United States Exclusive Economic Zone. This is an aggregate data product compiled from the USGS usSEABED and the East Coast Sediment Texture Database, and NOAA Electronic Navigational Charts. A new generalized texture value was compiled by normalizing across the three input data sets. Additional attributes such as Munsell coloration, grain size, and composition are available in the original sources.
