This course is intended to provide guidance for obtaining soil samples in the near shore environment such as harbors rivers coastal plains back swamps and wetlands where the depth of water varies from 0 to 45 m (0 to 150 ft) and is generally less than 20 m (65 ft). Sampling in deep water is not addressed within this course.
