Stellwagen_sedimentsamples SeaBOSS Geographic locations of seabed sediment samples from the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary Region. Includes sediment analyses. Page C Valentine
ridges0_SIM2840 SeaBOSS Boulder ridges less than 1 m high on the sea floor of the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary region. The boulder ridges were identified using multibeam topographic imagery and backscatter intensity of the seabed and video and photographic images collected from 1994 to 2003. Page C Valentine
