Data on the distribution and abundance of submersed aquatic vegetation in the tidal Potomac River and transition zone of the Potomac Estuary, Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia, 1983-1984

January 1, 1985

Data on the distribution and abundance of submerged aquatic vegetation were collected in the tidal Potomac River and transition zone of the Potomac Estuary during 1983 and 1984. Plant species were identifed on transects. Water-quality characteristics measured include temperature, specific conductance, and Secchi depth. Maps were made of the distribution of individual species based on transect samples and a complete shoreline survey. (USGS)
