A geophysical and geological survey was conducted at the mouth of Connecticut River from Old Saybrook to Essex, CT in September 2012. Approximately 227 linear-km of digital Chirp sub bottom (seismic-reflection) and 234-kHz interferometric sonar (bathymetric and backscatter) data were collected along with sediment samples, river-bed photographs and/or video at eighty-seven sites within the geophysical survey area. At the 87 sampling sites, 73 sediment grab samples were collected; video was acquired at 66 sites and 38 sites include photographs of the river bottom. These survey data are used to characterize the river-bed, identify sediment-texture and river-bed morphology
