 "description": "<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Maritime Science Branch has collected grain size data from sediment and water column samples using bottle samples, sediment cores, and sediment grabs as part of numerous research projects not only in the Atlantic provinces, but also worldwide. The data collected by DFO focuses on the fine grained (&lt;1mm) particles as these are both a source of food and means of contaminant transport. Grain size data are used to study the fate and distribution of complimentary chemistries like heavy metals, pesticides, hydrocarbons, aquaculture waste as well as a variety of physical processes such as the resuspension and transport of sediment.<\/span><\/p><p><span>_____________________________________________________________________________________<\/span><\/p><p><span><span>La Direction générale des sciences maritimes de Pêches et Océans Canada (MPO) a recueilli des données granulométriques d\u2019échantillons de sédiments et de colonne d\u2019eau à partir d\u2019échantillons en bouteilles, de carottes de sédiments et de prélèvements de sédiments dans le cadre de nombreux projets de recherche non seulement dans les provinces de l\u2019Atlantique, mais aussi dans le monde entier. Les données recueillies par le MPO se concentrent sur les particules à grains fins (&lt; 1 mm) puisque celles-ci sont à la fois une source de nourriture et des vecteurs de transport des contaminants. Les données granulométriques sont utilisées pour étudier le devenir et la distribution de produits chimiques complémentaires tels que les métaux lourds, les pesticides, les hydrocarbures, les déchets d\u2019aquaculture ainsi que divers processus physiques comme la remise en suspension et le transport des sédiments.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span /><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>",
