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

sbnmsallsta_SIM2840 SeaBOSS Sample and video stations located in the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary region. Stations represent the location of a sediment sample and/or the end of a video transect. Page C Valentine
sbnmsallvid_SIM2840 SeaBOSS Video transects of the sea floor in the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary region. This dataset contains polylines showing extents of video transects documenting seabed characteristics in the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary Region off Boston, Massachusetts, an area of approximately 1100 nautical square miles.
