Cefas Nab Tower Disposal Site Sediment and Macrofauna Data, 2014

Sediment macrofaunal assemblages and particle size data from 11 stations within and surrounding the Nab Tower dredged material disposal site off the Isle of Wight. The dataset was collected during November 2014 by the Centre for Environment, Fisheries & Aquaculture Science (Cefas).

Use Cases

• Assess benthic community health based on sediment macrofaunal assemblage data mentioned in the description
• Analyze sediment composition changes based on particle size distribution data mentioned in the description
• Monitor environmental impact of dredged material disposal based on data from stations within and surrounding the site

Strengths

• Data covers 11 specific sampling stations, providing spatial context
• Focuses on two specific environmental variables: sediment macrofauna and particle size

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
