Summary

Sediments and sediment transport influence the physical habitat and the ecology of the San Francisco Bay estuary. Bed sediments provide habitat for benthic organisms and the transport of sediment transports nutrients and contaminants throughout the San Francisco Bay. As part of the SF Bay-Delta Priority Ecosystems Science Program project: Biophysical Controls on Erosion and Near-Bed Turbulence: Strengthening Sediment Transport Modeling in San Francisco Bay, this data release represents data that can be used to examine the benthic biota influence on bed sediment properties.

Purpose

Data were collected to examine the role the benthos plays on sediment properties in San Pablo and Grizzly Bay. These data were collected as part of a collaborative study between the USGS Water Resources Mission Area, the USGS California Water Science Center, and the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center investigating physical and biological controls on sediment erodibility. These data are intended for researchers, students, policymakers, and the general public.
