Side scan sonar mosaics (refer to Fig. 1 for positions). The images show the location of sediment cores. (A) Sediment core 051207-32 was retrieved from a small mud-filled channel (displayed in light grey). The channels are separated by coarse sand, frequently containing coral fragments (displayed in dark grey). Further offshore, medium to coarse sands are deposited (displayed in intermediate grey). (B) Sediment core 050310-C6 was retrieved from a large patch covered by silty sediments (displayed in light gray) seaward of granitic bedrock outcrops. Coarse sands are deposited further offshore (displayed in dark grey).
