  • Barriers to Fish Passage in Nova Scotia the Evolution of Water Control Barriers in Nova Scotia’S Watershed
    Dalhousie University- Environmental Science Barriers to Fish Passage in Nova Scotia The Evolution of Water Control Barriers in Nova Scotia’s Watershed By: Gillian Fielding Supervisor: Shannon Sterling Submitted for ENVS 4901- Environmental Science Honours Abstract Loss of connectivity throughout river systems is one of the most serious effects dams impose on migrating fish species. I examine the extent and dates of aquatic habitat loss due to dam construction in two key salmon regions in Nova Scotia: Inner Bay of Fundy (IBoF) and the Southern Uplands (SU). This work is possible due to the recent progress in the water control structure inventory for the province of Nova Scotia (NSWCD) by Nova Scotia Environment. Findings indicate that 586 dams have been documented in the NSWCD inventory for the entire province. The most common main purpose of dams built throughout Nova Scotia is for hydropower production (21%) and only 14% of dams in the database contain associated fish passage technology. Findings indicate that the SU is impacted by 279 dams, resulting in an upstream habitat loss of 3,008 km of stream length, equivalent to 9.28% of the total stream length within the SU. The most extensive amount of loss occurred from 1920-1930. The IBoF was found to have 131 dams resulting in an upstream habitat loss of 1, 299 km of stream length, equivalent to 7.1% of total stream length. The most extensive amount of upstream habitat loss occurred from 1930-1940. I also examined if given what I have learned about the locations and dates of dam installations, are existent fish population data sufficient to assess the impacts of dams on the IBoF and SU Atlantic salmon populations in Nova Scotia? Results indicate that dams have caused a widespread upstream loss of freshwater habitat in Nova Scotia howeverfish population data do not exist to examine the direct impact of dam construction on the IBoF and SU Atlantic salmon populations in Nova Scotia.

  • The Siege of Fort Beauséjour by Chris M. Hand Notes
    1 The Siege of Fort Beauséjour by Chris M. Hand Notes Early Conflict in Nova Scotia 1604-1749. By the end of the 1600’s the area was decidedly French. 1713 Treaty of Utrecht After nearly 25 years of continuous war, France ceded Acadia to Britain. French and English disagreed over what actually made up Acadia. The British claimed all of Acadia, the current province of New Brunswick and parts of the current state of Maine. The French conceded Nova Scotia proper but refused to concede what is now New Brunswick and northern Maine, as well as modern Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton. They also chose to limit British ownership along the Chignecto Isthmus and also harboured ambitions to win back the peninsula and most of the Acadian settlers who, after 1713, became subjects of the British Crown. The defacto frontier lay along the Chignecto Isthmus which separates the Bay of Fundy from the Northumberland Strait on the north. Without the Isthmus and the river system to the west, France’s greatest colony along the St. Lawrence River would be completely cut off from November to April. Chignecto was the halfway house between Quebec and Louisbourg. 1721 Paul Mascarene, British governor of Nova Scotia, suggested that a small fort could be built on the neck with a garrison of 150 men. a) one atthe ridge of land at the Acadian town of Beaubassin (now Fort Lawrence) or b) one more west on the more prominent Beauséjour ridge. This never happened because British were busy fighting Mi’kmaq who were incited and abetted by the French.

ATLANTIC SALMON SURVEY OF ANNAPOLIS RIVER SYSTEM ANNAPOLIS & KINGS COS., N.S. 1957 by 3. Dalziel N. MacEachern ABSTRACT Good salmon spawning grounds were observed on the lower sections of the Nictaux River, Fales River and the South Annapolis River. A few scattered sections of possible spawning grounds exist on the main river between Lawrencetown and Paradise. Good nursery areas extend thr-aghout the snawning areas and includes all of the nain river. Major obstructions were found on all the large branch strepmR and include storage dams, barrier falls, mill dams and diversion canals. Salmon angling is carried out on the rain 7.iver - below -Aiddleton, on the Nictaux River, below Rogers Mill, and on the Lequille and Round Hill.7vers. GENERAL DESCRIPTION 07 STRUM The Annapolis Fiver is a comparatively large stream, about 50 miles long, which rises near Berwick, Kings County,'.3., and flows in a southerly direction through Kings and Annapolis Counties, emptying into Annapolis Basin below Annapolis Royal. The stream was surveyed during June and July, 1957, from Berwick West to the head of tide, including all of the main branch streams. Source to Middleton - From its source down to Mieldletonl the stream flows through neadowland and farmland with small sections of swampland and woodland scattered here and there. The gradient is slight, while the stream for the most part is gently flowing, broken occasionally by short, rapid sections.

  • A Review of Ice and Tide Observations in the Bay of Fundy
    A tlantic Geology 195 A review of ice and tide observations in the Bay of Fundy ConDesplanque1 and David J. Mossman2 127 Harding Avenue, Amherst, Nova Scotia B4H 2A8, Canada departm ent of Physics, Engineering and Geoscience, Mount Allison University, 67 York Street, Sackville, New Brunswick E4L 1E6, Canada Date Received April 27, 1998 Date Accepted December 15,1998 Vigorous quasi-equilibrium conditions characterize interactions between land and sea in macrotidal regions. Ephemeral on the scale of geologic time, estuaries around the Bay of Fundy progressively infill with sediments as eustatic sea level rises, forcing fringing salt marshes to form and reform at successively higher levels. Although closely linked to a regime of tides with large amplitude and strong tidal currents, salt marshes near the Bay of Fundy rarely experience overflow. Built up to a level about 1.2 m lower than the highest astronomical tide, only very large tides are able to cover the marshes with a significant depth of water. Peak tides arrive in sets at periods of 7 months, 4.53 years and 18.03 years. Consequently, for months on end, no tidal flooding of the marshes occurs. Most salt marshes are raised to the level of the average tide of the 18-year cycle. The number of tides that can exceed a certain elevation in any given year depends on whether the three main tide-generating factors peak at the same time. Marigrams constructed for the Shubenacadie and Cornwallis river estuaries, Nova Scotia, illustrate how the estuarine tidal wave is reshaped over its course, to form bores, and varies in its sediment-carrying and erosional capacity as a result of changing water-surface gradients.

  • Labour Day 2011 Returns to the Gaspereau Valley Wolfville, Nova Scotia September 2 to 5, 2011
    Labour Day 2011 Returns to the Gaspereau Valley Wolfville, Nova Scotia September 2 to 5, 2011 Long time members of the Maritime Organization of Rover Enthusiasts (MORE) will remember Labour Day in and around Wolfville back in 1999 and 2000. After years of resistance we, Julie and Peter Rosvall, will host Labour Day on our property once again. With the help of fellow Rover owners in our neighbourhood we will invite folks from across the Maritimes, New England, points west and internationally to our home. Kris Lockhart has been scouting and doing trail maintenance for so long already that the local joke is that by Labour Day 2011 he might have them paved if we don't watch out. All trailheads will be within 5 minutes of our property, and will have lots of options for every driving preference. Rosie Browning is taking the lead on food, after the great success of her desserts in Cape Breton. She has dreams of sandwiches made with roast beef and turkey (yes, real roast, really, cooked just prior to making the sandwiches, I'm drooling already). Rosie will be helped by a team of my relatives and our neighbours. All meals from Friday evening to Sunday night are provided on site, and the food will be amazing. I'm sure we'll have the Barr family put to work on this and other logistical details, and the Rudermans as well, and anyone else we can sucker in to volunteering leading up to the event and during. (willing volunteers can contact me using the coordinates below) Camping for the event will be on our property; tents will be setup among the cherry and pear trees, bordered by blackberry bushes.

    An examination of the population characteristics, movement patterns, and recreational fishing of striped bass (Morone saxatilis) in Minas Basin, N.S. during summer 2008 Report prepared for Minas Basin Pulp and Power Co. Ltd. Contributors: Jeremy E. Broome, Anna M. Redden, Michael J. Dadswell, Don Stewart and Karen Vaudry Acadia Center for Estuarine Research Acadia University Wolfville, NS B4P 2R6 June 2009 2 Executive Summary This striped bass study was initiated because of the known presence of both Shubenacadie River origin and migrant USA striped bass in the Minas Basin, the “threatened” species COSEWIC designation, the existence of a strong recreational fishery, and the potential for impacts on the population due to the operation of in- stream tidal energy technology in the area. Striped bass were sampled from Minas Basin through angling creel census during summer 2008. In total, 574 striped bass were sampled for length, weight, scales, and tissue. In addition, 529 were tagged with individually numbered spaghetti tags. Striped bass ranged in length from 20.7-90.6cm FL, with a mean fork length of 40.5cm. Data from FL(cm) and Wt(Kg) measurements determined a weight-length relationship: LOG(Wt) = 3.30LOG(FL)-5.58. Age frequency showed a range from 1-11 years. The mean age was 4.3 years, with 75% of bass sampled being within the Age 2-4 year class. Total mortality (Z) was estimated to be 0.60. Angling effort totalling 1732 rod hours was recorded from June to October, 2008, with an average 7 anglers fishing per tide. Catch per unit effort (Fish/Rod Hour) was determined to be 0.35, with peak landing periods indicating a relationship with the lunar cycle.

  • Hydrodynamic Modelling for Flood Management in Bay of Fundy Dykelands”
    Hydrodynamic Modelling for Flood Management in Bay of Fundy Dykelands By Michael Fedak A Thesis Submitted to Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, Nova Scotia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Applied Science July 16, 2012, Halifax Nova Scotia © Michael Fedak, 2012 Approved: Dr. Danika van Proosdij Supervisor Department of Geography Approved: Dr. Ryan Mulligan External Examiner Department of Civil Engineering Queen’s University Approved: Dr. Timothy Webster Supervisory Committee Member COGS, NSCC Approved: Dr. Peter Secord Graduate Studies Representative Date: July 16, 2012 Abstract “Hydrodynamic Modelling for Flood Management in Bay of Fundy Dykelands” By Michael Fedak Storm surge in the coastal Bay of Fundy is a serious flood hazard. These lands are low-lying and adapted to farming through the use of coastal defences, namely dykes. Increasing rates of sea level rise due to climate change are expected to increase flood hazard in this area. In this thesis, flood risk to communities in the Avon River estuary of the Upper Bay of Fundy is investigated through computer based modelling and data management techniques. Flood variables from 14 possible storm surge scenarios (based on sea level rise predictions) were modelled using TUFLOW software. A GIS was used to create a database for simulation outputs and for the analysis of outputs. TUFLOW and a geographic information system (GIS) flood algorithm are compared .It was found that obstructions to flow controlled flooding and drainage and these features required the use of a hydrodynamic model to represent flows properly.
