This is formed mainly of blue-green algae and makes an efficient sediment trap.
On smaller construction sites, where a basin is not practical, sediment traps may be used.
In geology, a sediment trap is any topographic depression where sediments substantially accumulate over time.
The size of a sediment trap can vary from a small lagoon to a large basin such as the Persian Gulf.
Organic carbon flux in an anoxic water column: sediment trap results from the Cariaco Basin.
