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. -

FROM THE TRANSACTIONS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA THIRD SERIES—1914 VOLUME vin An Organization of the Scientific Investigation of the Indian Place«nomenclatiire of the Maritime Provinces of Canada by W. F. GANONG. M.AHBb.E OTTAWA PRINTED FOR THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 19 14 Transactions of The Royal Society of Canada SECTION II SERIES III DECEMBER 1914 VOL. VIII An Organization of the Scientific Investigation of the Indian Place- nomenclature of the Maritime Provinces of Canada, (Fourth Paper). By W. F. GANONG, M.A., Ph.D. (Read by Title May 27, 1914.) This paper is identical in aim and method with its three pre decessors, which were published in the immediately foregoing volumes of these Transactions. In a word, I am trying to apply the principles of scientific analysis to a very interesting subject especially prone to doubt and error. The comparative method which I use, explained in the introduction to the first paper, is proving wonderfully successful in solving the problems, as this paper will further illustrate. For convenience of reference I may add that the former papers made analysis of the names Oromocto, Magaguadavic, Upsalquitch, Manan, Nepisiguit, Kouchibouguac, Anagance, Wagan, Pokiok, Penniac, Bocabec, Pentagoet-Penobscot, Pohenegamook, and Cobs- cook, and used the roots thus made available in the analysis of a good many other words, both existent and extinct, of lesser importance. Of these extinct Indian names,—indigenous to the country, ap propriate to the places, and often reducible to a highly pleasing form, —the greater number may be revived to obvious advantage when additional place-names become needed in future; and I have tried to suggest simplified and softened forms for such purpose. -

The Lady Crab (Ovalipes ocellatus), mainly found south of Cape Cod and in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence, is reported from an ocean beach on the north shore of Massachusetts Bay (42°28'60"N, 70°46'20"W) in the Gulf of Maine. All previ- ously known Gulf of Maine populations north of Cape Cod Bay are estuarine and thought to be relicts of a continuous range during the Hypsithermal.

YB299A ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR MODIFICATIONS TO THE PETITCODIAC RIVER CAUSEWAY Submitted to: New Brunswick Department of Supply and Services Fredericton, New Brunswick Submitted by: AMEC Earth & Environmental, A Division of AMEC Americas Limited Fredericton, New Brunswick September 30, 2005 TE23520.4 NB Department of Supply and Services EIA Report Modifications to the Petitcodiac River Causeway September 2005 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background This document is the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report for the Modifications to the Petitcodiac River Causeway Project. The Petitcodiac River causeway (“causeway”) is a gated dam structure with an installed vertical slot fishway that was built across the Petitcodiac River between the City of Moncton and the Town of Riverview. Figure 1 shows the location of the Petitcodiac River and Figure 2 shows an aerial view of the causeway. Completed in 1968, the causeway was intended to create a second transportation link between the two communities, offer flood protection for farmland between the causeway and the head of tide at Salisbury, and create a freshwater headpond with potential for recreation and as an industrial water source. A bridge would have achieved the transportation objective, but not the other benefits. As early as 1961, it was recognized by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (“DFO”) that fish passage would be an issue if a causeway was built across the Petitcodiac River. Consequently, DFO required that a fishway be included in the structure. However, the construction of the causeway with the fishway resulted in fish passage issues from the outset. The fishway proved ineffective for all fish species that require passage for life cycle purposes, including the Inner Bay of Fundy Atlantic salmon that is now also protected under the Species at Risk Act because of declining numbers. -

FALL 2012/ Winter 2013 THE NEWSLETTER OF MAINE RIVERS ST. CROIX RIVER UPDATE Joint Tribal Council of the Passamaquoddy Tribe passes St. Croix River Alewife Resolution Citing the vital linkages that sea-run alewives create in the food chain of the St. Croix River, Passamaquoddy Bay and the Bay of Fundy, members of the Joint Tribal Council of the Passamaquoddy Tribe voted unanimously to pass a resolution that calls for reopening the St. Croix Rivers for alewives. !e resolution states that sea-run alewife are a vital link in the food chain of the St. Croix River that sustained the Passamaquoddy for thousands of years, “without which we may not have survived.” !e Joint Tribal Council resolution supports the June 14, 2012 Passamaquoddy Chief’s Declaration of a State of Emergency within the St. Croix River, and calls for overturning Maine’s 1995 law that blocks alewives from the St. Croix. In early June 2012 members of the Schoodic Riverkeepers advanced the Passamaquoddy river restoration e"ort with a 100-mile sacred run up the St. Croix River, a run that mirrored the annual trek of native alewives. !e route extended from Pleasant Point, near Eastport, to Mud Lake Stream, a 4,000-year-old ancestral #shing site for the Passamaquoddy at the head of Spednic Lake. Maine Rivers has been working for nearly a decade on advocacy e"orts to reopen the St. Croix River and applauds this recent decision of the Joint Tribal Council.
