Resource Abstract:
- description: These data were collected under a cooperative agreement between the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management
(CZM) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Coastal and Marine Geology Program, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center
(WHCMSC). Initiated in 2003, the primary objective of this program is to develop regional geologic framework information for
the management of coastal and marine resources. Accurate data and maps of sea floor geology are important first steps toward
protecting fish habitat, delineating marine resources, and assessing environmental changes due to natural or human impacts.
The project is focused on the inshore waters of coastal Massachusetts, primarily in water depths of 5 to 30 meters (m) deep.
Data collected for the mapping cooperative have been released in a series of USGS Open-File Reports (http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/coastal_mass/).
The geophysical data were collected during a survey in 2013 during USGS Field Activity 2013-003-FA (http://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fa=2013-003-FA)
and cover approximately 185 square kilometers of the inner continental shelf.; abstract: These data were collected under a
