©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.This dataset contains eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) density and lengths. Oyster density sampling was conducted at reefs within the Rachel Carson National Estuarine Research Reserve, Back Sound, North Carolina in 2010 and 2014. Also included in this dataset are reef elevation and exposure data that was generated from laser scans and water level loggers (see related dataset list for more details).
Other Back Sound datasets in this project:
Laser scans
Water level
Reef elevation, exposure, and vertical change
Laser scan, density, and GPS grid sampling information
