The transport of fine sediment in intertidal waters affects the health and sustainable uses of the coastal zone in Canada. The response of the shoreline to sea level rise, navigability of coastal waters and exposure of humans and other organisms to sediment-bound contaminants all depend on fine sediment transport. To complicate matters, all of these effects are tied to the sortability of fine marine sediment, which is not well understood.

潮间带水域中细小沉积物的输送影响到加拿大沿海地区的健康和可持续利用。海岸线对海平面上升的反应、沿海水域的通航能力以及人类和其他生物对泥沙结合污染物的暴露，都取决于细微的泥沙输送。让事情更复杂的是，所有这些影响都与细小海洋沉积物的可分级性有关，这一点还没有得到很好的理解。
