This study investigates the faunal biodiversity of the deep water sediments of Grand Manan Basin in the Bay Fundy on the East Coast of North America. Specimens were collected using a 0.1 m2 grab, and identified and enumerated at the Atlantic Reference Centre. The sediment types at the research sites were found to be complex containing cobbles, pebbles, sand and clay. The specimens retrieved from these samples showed a great degree of biodiversity, and include species not previously reported in this region.
Version 1 of this resource was created as a Census of Marine Life dataset in 2005.

- Version 1: This resource was created by the data provider for OBIS Canada. The resource was made public through the DiGIR server maintained by the OBIS Project office at Rutgers University. This resource was then migrated to this IPT to create a copy of the version published during the Census of Marine Life.
- Version 2: The original resource was created during the Census of Marine Life program. This version published on the OBIS Canada IPT replaces the older resource provided to OBIS which in turn was made accessible to GBIF through the OBIS DiGIR server hosted by Rutgers University, USA.
