Unusual features in Halifax Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada, part 2 / G.B.J. Fader, R.O. Miller, and B.J. Todd.M183-2/8956E-PDF

"The seabed of Halifax Harbour contains a number of features that can be classified into natural and anthropogenic features. Natural features are formed by nature and consist of bedforms such as sand waves, sedimentary furrows, boulder berms, moraines and pockmarks. Anthropogenic features are those formed by human activity and include anchor marks, cables, shipwrecks, dredge spoils, bridge and dock remains. The anthropogenic imprint on the harbour bottom is very dense, particularly in the inner harbour, and makes the collection of natural unaffected samples challenging. This poster illustrates and describes anchor marks, gassy sediments, sedimentary furrows, pockmarks, the remnants of submarine net emplacements, vehicles dumped on the seabed, and an area of seafloor rich in glass bottles"--Introduction.
