  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Minas Basin, N.S
    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.

  • Support for Delineation of Inner Bay of Fundy Salmon Marine Critical Habitat Boundaries in Minas Basin and Chignecto
    Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat Maritimes Region Science Response 2015/035 SUPPORT FOR DELINEATION OF INNER BAY OF FUNDY SALMON MARINE CRITICAL HABITAT BOUNDARIES IN MINAS BASIN AND CHIGNECTO BAY Context In April 2014, the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Species at Risk Management Division (SARMD) in the Maritimes Region requested information from DFO Science to assist with the delineation of boundaries for critical habitat (CH) being considered for Inner Bay of Fundy (IBOF) Atlantic Salmon within Chignecto Bay and Minas Basin, specifically: to assist with the delineation of the boundary between estuarine and marine habitat for several large, tidal estuaries (i.e., Petitcodiac River, Avon River, Salmon River Colchester, Shubenacadie River estuary and Cumberland Basin). DFO Science had previously provided advice on the characteristics and general location of important marine and estuarine habitat for IBOF salmon (DFO 2008; DFO 2013); however, additional information was requested to assist in delineating the precise boundaries of important marine habitat within Chignecto Bay and Minas Basin in order to subsequently propose, describe and map these as CH within an amended Recovery Strategy for IBOF salmon. Once identified in the Recovery Strategy, measures will be taken to protect this marine CH under the Species at Risk Act (SARA). This Science Response Report results from the Science Response Process of 11 July 2014 on Support for Delineation of Inner Bay of Fundy Salmon Marine Critical Habitat Boundaries. Background The inner Bay of Fundy populations of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) are listed as Endangered under the Species at Risk Act, and SARA requires the identification of CH for endangered species within a Recovery Strategy (or Action Plan).
