| Purpose | Collaborative research with NMFS: echo sounding, sidescan sonar surveys, video, and bottom sampling of the southwestern part of Stellwagen Bank to map sedimentary environments and biological habitats. | ||||||||
| Location | southwestern Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, United States, North America, North Atlantic; | ||||||||
| Summary | Continuous data collected: 1013 line km of sidescan sonar data comprising 162 sq. km. of continuous coverage (see trackline map). Stations occupied: color video camera (mounted on Van Veen grab) deployed at 56 sites resulted in 52 sediment samples taken in the study area. | ||||||||

| q2_stations_geology | Van Veen grab sampler | Station locations in quadrangle 2 in Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary offshore of Boston, Massachusetts where video, photographs and sediment samples were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey from 1993-2019 - includes sediment sample analyses and interpreted geologic substrate. This shapefile contains the quadrangle 2 station locations, interpreted geologic substrate at each location, and description of sampling type (sediment sample, video, photograph). Station locations that have sediment samples include the sediment analyses data. These stations represent information used in the geologic interpretation. | Page C Valentine |

| q2_geologic_interp | Interpretation of the seabed geologic substrates in quadrangle 2 of the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary region offshore of Boston, Massachusetts based on data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey from 1993-2019. This interpretation is based on multibeam sonar bathymetry, multibeam backscatter imagery, video, photos, and grain-size analyses of samples collected from the seabed in the time period 1993-2019. | Page C Valentine |
