attribute	NC_GLOBAL	summary	String	Fisheries Monitoring in Ocean Wind 01. One summer survey once per year pre-construction in 2022 and 2023. Target for each tow is 5 minutes at 2.5 knots with a goal of twenty stations in the lease area and ten at the control site. The dredge is a modified commercial clam dredge to better sample younger clam sizes (Munroe et al., 2023). For each tow, the total volume of clams caught, and the number of individual clams caught will be recorded. The realized tow distance will be calculated from dredge sensor data that records time on bottom and time hauled back, and vessel track recordings. This dataset includes age data from a subset of clams sampled each dredge.

But, if a clam died right after laying down its third annual growth ring, then it would be exactly 3.
