Abstract

The effects of Hurricane Harvey were studied. This dataset includes biomass, abundance, and species richness of identified benthic macrofauna from triplicate sediment core samples collected in San Antonio Bay, northwest Gulf of Mexico estuaries along the Texas coast. They were collected during eleven quarterly sampling trips on a small boat, Feb. 2017 - July 2019.
