Marine Silt, Sand, and Mud Collected from Active Gulf of Maine Mudflats
Authentic marine silt, sand, and mud collected by hand from the intertidal mudflats of the Gulf of Maine. This natural substrate contains native microorganisms, organic material, and fine sediment textures representative of real coastal marine environments. Ideal for marine biology labs, aquarium setup, sediment analysis, and benthic ecology studies, this material provides a true-to-nature base for marine tanks and classroom research.
Each collection is gathered fresh to order, ensuring a clean and authentic representation of Gulf of Maine substrate — rich in both texture and ecological value.
Common name: Silt / Sand / Mud Locations: Marine mudflats Seasonality: Available all year Colors: Tan to brown Size: Available in 1-gallon or 5-gallon quantities Collected: By hand Quantity: Sold by the gallon
Uses: Perfect for aquarium base material, sediment ecology demonstrations, or coastal habitat education.
Note: This is a natural marine material. Texture, composition, and coloration may vary by location and season.

Clam holes! Clams beneath the surface of the mud are sitting right above thick marine clay. Their siphons extend through the muddy layer to the oxygen rich surface.
Tidepool Tim says, "This is the richest, goopiest clam flat mud you have ever seen. This substrate serves as great habitat for worms, molluscs, and other invertebrates. Use this mud in your cold water aquarium or touch tank to make your intertidal creature at home."
