Transects were systematically placed within the shoreline boundary every 100 m and sampling sites were located at 100 m intervals along each transect. A Ponar grab sampler was deployed to collect a benthic sample at each site for substrate characterization and floral/faunal classification.To provide a comprehensive mapping of benthic substrates and biological assemblages in Estero Bay.J.R.

The sediment sample was also inspected for the presernce of floral (seagrasses and macroalgae) and faunal assemblages (sessile invertebrates such as oysters, tunicates, sponges, bryozoans, and polychaete worm tubes).Geographic coordinates for sampling locations were defined prior to sampling. Aerial photographs (1999 DOQQ) were used to digitize the shoreline boundary of Estero Bay and coordinates for the systematic array of sampling points were calculated within the boundary. Benthic samples were collected within 10 m of the predetermined sample site coordinates using a GPS with WAAS corrections. Manufacturer specifications indicated position accuracy < 3 m for 95% of the time with differential corrections.
