Understanding the sediment dynamics of the region is critical to evaluate the structural feasibility of offshore wind farm development which is proposed for the area. These samples were taken to provide a chronology from which to assess a history of sediment mobilization via sediment gravity flows on the Morro Bay continental slope over the recent geologic past.
