Surface sediment composition of the tidal channels in the Sylt-Rømø Bight in the Northern Wadden Sea (North Sea) in September 1996

Lister Ley, the largest of 3 tidal channels in Sylt-Rømø bight, was sampled by 270 box cores (0.02 m²) in a stratified random sampling design. The cores were evaluated for Macrozoobenthos (species and abundance) and sediment granulometry. Sampling occurred twice, in September 1996 and again in March 1997 in the same sites.
