Many of these feed on organic material and microscopic organisms living within the sediment. Depending on sediment grain size, mud can become anoxic below the top 1-2 cm. Mud is associated with several key biogenic species such as mangroves and seagrass in the intertidal, and subtidal algal meadows, tubeworms, sea pens and Xenophyophores. The percent mud layers for the region were developed from >30,000 raw sediment sample data and compiled (Jenkins et al. 1997), then imported into ArcGIS and interpolated using Inverse Distance Weighting (Bostock et al., 2019). </SPAN></P><P><SPAN><SPAN>Bostock, H., C.
