The dataset comprises nine samples along a single transect, which provides a first-order characterization but cannot capture the full spatial variability of sediment composition in the region. The present dataset provides only a spatial snapshot of the sediment dispersal and does not address temporal variability in sediment delivery or accretionary processes.
