Bay of Fundy DESTINATIONS BAY OF FUNDY ★★ When you visit Fundy, be prepared for an impressive natural spectacle, with unique coastal landscapes and massive tides that will not leave you indifferent. The Bay of Fundy holds 160 billion tonnes of water which, twice a day, every day, flows in and out of the bay with the tides. To give you an idea, 160 billion tonnes of water is the equivalent of all the water in all the rivers in the world, the height of a 4-storey building, and the weight of 32 billion 5-tonne elephants... Pretty impressive! Unsurprisingly, the Bay of Fundy has one of the richest marine ecosystems in the world. The Fundy region is an ideal environment to slow the pace and take the time to really appreciate all the beauty around you during your trip to New Brunswick. ‘‘FLOWERPOT ROCKS’’, BAY OF FUNDY © iStock-886494498-PauloCosta WHAT TO DO — HOPEWELL ROCKS the ocean floor and explore appreciate everything it has admiring the red sandstone PROVINCIAL PARK ★★ the rocks, beach and coves to offer. cliffs, “flowerpot” formations This park is one of New for 3 hours before low tide and the spectacular coastal Brunswick’s top attractions and until 3 hours after low Activities in the park include scenery.

    The historic limestone quarry on Green Head Island in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada Randall F. Miller1* and Diane N. Buhay2 1. Steinhammer Palaeontology Laboratory, Natural Science Department, New Brunswick Museum, Saint John, New Brunswick E2K 1E5 Canada 2. University of New Brunswick, Saint John, New Brunswick E2L 4L5 Canada *Corresponding author <[email protected]> Received 28 November 2013 ¶ accepted 11 January 2014 ABSTRacT Lime, or quicklime, is produced from carbonate sedimentary rocks like limestone. Lime is then used for a variety of purposes in building construction, agriculture, medicine, steel manufacture, and paper-making. By the 19th century, manufacture of lime for mortar and plaster was a significant part of the economy in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. Amongst the many quarries and kilns, the operation at Green Head Cove on Green Head Island was among the industry leaders. The Green Head quarry was probably used in the early 1700s or earlier. For many of its busiest years during the 1800s, the quarry was operated by Joseph and Frank Armstrong and was well known throughout the Maritimes and New England as a producer of a high quality product. Joseph Armstrong was referred to in contemporary newspaper stories as a pioneer in the New Brunswick lime industry. The Green Head quarry ceased production in the early 20th century and the site on Green Head Island now preserves the last vestiges and perhaps best example of this once thriving industry. RÉSUMÉ La chaux, ou chaux vive, est extraite de roches sédimentaires carbonatées comme le calcaire.

F4 035 no. 10 D c.1 Fisheries Pêches 1+3 and Oceans et Océans Canae I INTRODUCTION The following is one of a series of reports on the historical uses of waterways in New Brunswick and British Columbia. These reports are narrative outlines of how Indian and non-native populations I have used these rivers, with emphasis on navigability, tidal influence, riparian interests, settlement patterns, commercial use and fishing rights. These historical reports were requested by the Interdepartmental Reserve Boundary Review Committee, a body comprising representatives from Indian Affairs and Northern Development I [DIAND], Justice, Energy, Mines and Resources [EMR], and chaired by Fisheries and Oceans. The committee is tasked with establishing a government position on reserve boundaries that can assist in I determining the area of application of Indian Band fishing by-laws. Although each report in this series is as different as the waterway I it describes, there is a common structural approach to each paper. Each report describes the establishment of Indian reserves along the river; what Licences of Occupation were issued; what instructions were given to surveyors laying out these reserves; how I each surveyor laid out each reserve based on his field notes and survey plan; what, if any, fishing rights were considered for the Indian Bands; and how the Indian and non-native populations have I used the waterway over the past centuries for both commercial and recreational use.
