Distribution is restricted to institutions or individuals located in particular regions of Canada. However, no restriction is placed on subject matter, and the series reflects the broad interests and policies of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, namely, fisheries and aquatic sciences. Manuscript reports may be cited as full publications. The correct citation appears above the abstract of each report. Each report is abstracted in Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts and indexed in the Department’s annual index to scientific and technical publications. Numbers 1–900 in this series were issued as Manuscript Reports (Biological Series) of the Biological Board of Canada, and subsequent to 1937 when the name of the Board was changed by Act of Parliament, as Manuscript Reports (Biological Series) of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada. Numbers 901–1425 were issued as Manuscript Reports of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada. Numbers 1426–1550 were issued as Department of Fisheries and the Environment, Fisheries and Marine Service Manuscript Reports. The current series name was changed with report number 1551. Manuscript reports are produced regionally but are numbered nationally.

  • R E P O R T S 112 Structure of the Minas Passage, Bay of Fundy: A
    Reports 112 Structure of the Minas Passage, Bay of Fundy: A Preliminary Report* DONALD J. P. SWIFT Duke University, Durham, N. C. FRANK L. JAGODITS Huntec Limited, Toronto, Ont. BERNARD L. MANISTRE Lockwood Survey Corporation Limited, Toronto, Ont. NORMAN R. PATERSON Huntec Limited, Toronto, Ont. Introduction From July, 1965 to March, 1966, a joint geological-geophysical study of the Minas Passage, Bay of Fundy, was undertaken by Huntec Limited of Toronto for the Atlantic Development Board of Canada. The purpose of the project was to test the feasibility of a tidal power station in the Passage. This paper presents a portion of the study, namely the structure of the geologically critical Minas Passage area and its bearing on regional structure. The Bay of Fundy is a funnel-shaped body of water lying between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick (Fig. 1). Fundy proper is 144 kilometers long, 100 kilometers wide at the base, and averages 75 meters in depth. The northeast end bifurcates into northeast-trending Chignecto Bay, and the east-trending Minas Basin. Three distinct bodies of water are included within the latter; the Minas Basin proper; the Minas Channel, separated from the basin by the great curved peninsula of Cape Blomidon-Cape Split; and the Minas Passage, connecting the Channel and the Basin (Fig. 2). ^Manuscript received 12 January, 1968.

  • Land and Belonging in Gaelic Nova Scotia
    “Dh’fheumadh iad àit’ a dheanamh” (They would have to make a Place): LAND AND BELONGING IN GAELIC NOVA SCOTIA © Shamus Y. MacDonald A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Folklore Memorial University of Newfoundland December 2017 St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador Abstract: This thesis explores the way land has been perceived, described and experienced by Scottish Gaels in Nova Scotia. It examines how attitudes towards land are maintained and perpetuated through oral traditions and how oral history, legends and place names have fostered a sense of belonging in an adopted environment. Drawing on archival research and contemporary ethnographic fieldwork in Gaelic and English, it explores how people give anonymous aspects of the natural and built environment meaning, how personal and cultural significance is attached to landscapes, and how oral traditions contribute to a sense of place. Exploring a largely unofficial tradition, my thesis includes a survey of Gaelic place names in Nova Scotia that shows how settlers and their descendants have interpreted their surroundings and instilled them with a sense of Gaelic identity. It also considers local traditions about emigration and settlement, reflecting on the messages these stories convey to modern residents and how they are used to construct an image of the past that is acceptable to the present. Given its focus on land, this work investigates the protective attitude towards property long ascribed to Highland Gaels in the province, considering local perspectives of this claim and evaluating its origins.

    Phase 1 - Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia including the Fundy Tidal Energy Demonstration Project Site Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study Membertou Geomatics Consultants August, 2009 M.E.K.S. Project Team Jason Googoo, Project Manager Rosalie Francis, Project Advisor Dave Moore, Author and Research Craig Hodder, Author and GIS Technician Andrea Moore, Research and Database Assistant Katy McEwan, MEKS Interviewer Mary Ellen Googoo, MEKS Interviewer Lawrence Wells Sr., MEKS traditionalist Prepared by: Reviewed by: ___________________ ____________________ Dave Moore, Author Jason Googoo, Manager i Executive Summary This Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study, also commonly referred to as MEKS or a TEKS, was developed by Membertou Geomatics Consultants for the Nova Scotia Department of Energy and Minas Basin Pulp and Power Co Ltd on behalf of the Fundy Ocean Research Centre for Energy (FORCE). In January 2008, the Province of Nova Scotia announced that Minas Basin Pulp and Power Co Ltd. had been awarded the opportunity to construct a tidal energy testing and research facility in the Minas Basin, known as the Fundy Tidal Energy Demonstration Facility. This Facility will be managed by a non-profit corporation called FORCE. The objectives of this study are twofold; - to undertake a broad MEKS study for the Bay of Fundy Phase I Area as it may relate to future renewable energy projects i.e. wind, tidal and wave, specifically in Phase 1 area of the Bay of Fundy ( as identified in MGC Proposal - Minas Channel and Minas Basin), and - to undertake a more focused MEKS review specific to the Fundy Tidal Energy Demonstration Project area which would consider the land and water area potentially affected by the project, identify what is the Mi’kmaq traditional use activity that has or is currently taking place within the Project Site and Study Area and what Mi’kmaq ecological knowledge presently exists in regards to the Project Site and Study Area.
