Abstract

This dataset contains high-resolution hydrodynamic and sediment measurements collected at a natural Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) reef in Mosquito Lagoon, Florida, to examine how spatial variability in canopy density influences flow and sediment dynamics. Velocity measurements were obtained using Vectrino acoustic Doppler velocimeters deployed both within and above four distinct canopy density types: sparse, moderately dense, clustered dense, and homogeneous dense. Additional measurements of incident and channel flow were collected using a Nortek Vector acoustic Doppler velocimeter and a Nortek HR Profiler. Derived parameters include mean flow velocity components (u, v, w). Complementary sediment core analyses provide grain size distributions and organic matter content (loss-on-ignition). Results from quadrant analysis of 0.25 m² quadrats, used to characterize canopy density across reef types, are also included.
