Survey Description
A total of 172 surface grab samples of mud, sandy mud or sand were collected from the Strait of Georgia area, British Columbia, during a scientific cruise on the CSS Tully in November 1992. A Shipek grab sampler was lowered to the sea floor to scoop up approximately 200-500 g of the top 10 cm of sediment. These sediments have accumulated within the past 20 years or less based on sedimentation rates determined for the area. The data are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 3052.
