Description:The data collection and analysis contained within this report focus on two locations: 1) NYWEA and the mid-Atlantic region study area (Figure 1.1). The NYWEA site is located approximately 11.5 nautical miles (nm) south from Jones Beach, NY and extends approximately 24 nm southeast along its longest portion. It is located in water depths ranging from 25 to 45 m deep. Extensive acoustic and sediment sampling, and ground validation studies were conducted by NOAA NCCOS within NYWEA. The regional study area encompasses 50,082 km2 of coastal and ocean waters off the coast of New York. This area includes a portion of the mid-Atlantic Bight and much of the area characterized as the New York Bight. Analysis for the regional study area included state and federal waters from the southern shores of Long Island to the edge of the continental shelf and from Nantucket Shoals to the shores of New Jersey. This report contains analysis of hard bottom predictions and sediment texture throughout the regional study area.
