Mud to sandy mud: one Folk-5 class on the Adriatic chart

Mud to sandy mud is one Folk-5 class. It is not a sixth bottom and not a separate sandy-mud page.

The parent is Folk-5 seabed. Sand next door is sand. Check a pin on the habitat checker.

Definition

Mud to sandy mud is the fine class in the five-class model. The product label is one class, mud to sandy mud, matching the Folk-5 map. There is no sibling sandy-mud class.

Where the data comes from

The class comes from EMODnet Geology, the same substrate layer as the other four classes. This page does not change the raster class code.

How to read it on the chart

If the pin says mud to sandy mud, plan for fine bottom. After brown water, wait. The class did not vanish. The day did. Do not treat every brown plume as empty sand.

Examples

The chart hub reads the northern shelf as a sand-and-mud shelf from Trieste toward Poreč. A flood colour can sit on neighbouring sand. Read both this class and sand before you move the pin.
