Transport of biodeposits and benthic footprint around an oyster farm, Damariscotta Estuary, Maine in August 2018

Dataset extent

These datasets were generated from a project in which we examined the effect of flow on biodeposit transport and deposition by calculating a rough aquaculture �footprint� and assessing the resulting impacts of settling waste on sediment geochemical characteristics, erosion, biogeochemical fluxes, and macrofaunal communities.
