    • Sediments of Boston Harbor acquired in 1968 (MENCHER shapefile)

    Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

    A study was made of the composition, grain-size distribution, and organic content of grab samples collected from Boston Harbor. In general, the coarsest mean sizes occur in the channels scoured by dredging or tidal action, and the finest in areas where no dredging has occurred and where tidal velocities are at a minimum.
