Summary
Abstract: This GIS layer, which focuses on benthic communities, was developed as
part of a cooperative project between the University of New Haven, the
Connecticut DEP, and the U.S. Geological Survey. Benthic communities
are an integral component of the ecology of Long Island Sound.

Understanding the role that spatial heterogeneity plays in the dynamic
of benthic landscapes may be a key to developing a ... View entire text
