Collect sediment cores from Monitoring Stations 4 and 8 in Boston Harbor for metals analysis.
Location
Boston Harbor, Massachusetts, United States, North America, North Atlantic,
Summary
4 sediment cores were collected using push poles from the surface ship near the time of low tide. All cores were located about 25 feet NW of the Boston Harbor Station 4 target location. Due to the current and the difficulty of collecting cores at Station 4, we decided to cancel attempting core collection at Station 8 (which would have had deeper water and stronger current).
