The actual count of samples which appears in our final report may differ slightly from the above. We are in the process of eliminating certain entry duplications due to mistakes in Sample ID numbers. Until these corrections have been completed, the above listing is subject to revision. Another uncertainty Lies in the designation of sediment samples and core samples. Sediment sample designation refers to grab samples taken from the bottom of the lagoon while core sample designation implies sectioning as a function of depth. Since we haven't attempted to keep these two categories separate, the proportion of each is somewhat uncertain but the total number is accurate. TIt.
