Abstract From two to four different sediment types were found in each of six offshore sampling areas in western Bay of Plenty, New Zealand. The size of the areas ranged from 7.7 km² to 64.6 km², and the average depths ranged from 36 m to 168 m. Sediments may thus vary widely within areas plotted as homogeneous on large-scale (1:200 000) sediment charts.
