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.

潮间水中细沉积物的运输会影响加拿大沿海地区的健康和可持续用途。海岸线对海平面上升的反应，沿海水域的通航以及人类和其他生物暴露于沉积物结合的污染物中的反应都取决于精细的沉积物运输。使事情复杂化，所有这些影响都与精细的海洋沉积物的可分解性有关，这尚未得到充分理解。
