The sediment data are provided as spreadsheet (Microsoft Excel) and tab-delimited files on the web site.  These data are in the form of sections within the web site, which provides extensive supporting data, interpretive diagrams, and discussion. The data were obtained from a variety of sources: published reports, theses, unpublished data from agencies and organizations in the Long Island Sound and New York Bight area and Federal agencies such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, NOAA, National Status and Trends Benthic Surveillance program, and the U.S. Geological Survey.",
