The results of the muck/sediment thickness study indicate much of the original bottom in the study area is overburden with a thick semi-fluid muck layer. Analysis of the data shows a strong correlation between the relative depths of water and the thickness of the muck layer, as well as the type of material present. Analysis of each of the nine sites can be found in the full report. In general terms, holes or deeper areas contained thicker layers of muck sediment. Sites having the thickest muck layers include South Cove (thickness of 12 feet in depth of -20’ NAVD) and Snook Islands (thickness of 12 feet in depth of -13’ NAVD). The isopach map for Snook Islands is shown in Figure
