Summary

These data are a part of the effort to map geologic substrates of the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary region off Boston, Massachusetts. The overall goal is to develop high-resolution (1:25,000) interpretive maps, based on multibeam sonar data and seabed sampling, showing surficial geology and seabed sediment dynamics. The work was conducted in collaboration with the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, and the data collected will aid research on the ecology of fish and invertebrate species that inhabit the region. The Sanctuary's research vessel, R/V Auk, visited a total of 169 locations on Stellwagen Bank during three separate surveys from September 2020 to August 2021. During these surveys a customized Van Veen grab [...]

Purpose

These log books provide a record of information recorded in the field. The log books for each field activity are provided as PDF files in two versions. One version with OCR (object character recognition) applied to the file (indicated in the filename) and the other without OCR due to the loss of visual clarity and resolution when OCR was applied. The OCR files are included to assist users with vision limitations.
