The basalt is massive, dark grey to grey-green with microcrysts (À 5%) of plagioclase and pyroxene with variable (À 30-40%) amounts of mesostasis in a medium- 45 grained, ophitic-textured host. This unit consists of 1 or 2 flow sheets, has colonnade- 62 style polygonal jointing (À 1 m) and, at the base, inclined pipe vesicles occur. The lower 10-20 m locally (e.g., Morden, Margaretsville) contains felsic material (ca. 65-74 wt. % SiO2 ) in the form of dykes, amoeboid masses and spectacular segregation pipes (3-60 cm; 10-15/m2 ) that are sometimes cored by agate and crystalline silica. Rarely veins of silica cut the unit and locally areas of intense silica alteration occur. 44 61 65°40'W MARGARETSVILLE MEMBER (Middle Flow Unit) (^Fnmm) : this unit occurs between the ^Fnmm massive and relatively fresher^Fnme and ^Fnmb flows. Due to alteration the unit is recessive and occupies low lying, locally swampy (e.g., Long Island and Brier Island) d y areas. Significantly, in the eastern part of the mapped area (i.e., Scots Bay) the unit is in n contact with the younger Triassic Scots Bay Formation rather than the Brier Island F u Member. The unit varies in thickness from À20-40 m in the western part of the mapped 43 f area to À170 m maximum thickness in the central area; areal exposure varies o 4960 y considerably towards the east. Individual flows are fine grained, dark grey to grey-green a and/or red-brown, massive to intensely vesiculated, generally altered and, therefore, very B friable. The unit contains multiple (15-20), thin (À 15-20 m), geometrically complex flow sheets with abundant, zonally-arranged vesicles (e.g., pipes, vesicle cylinders and sheets) which are mostly occluded with different zeolite phases (locally 20-30% by volume) and lesser silica and micaceous material. In thicker flows the cores or lower parts 42 59 can be massive and rarely exhibit columnar jointing. Abundant field evidence (e.g., flow lobes, stacked lobes, vesicle zonation, tumuli) indicates this is a compound flow unit consisting of abundant inflated pahoehoe flow sheets. Red-brown oxidized tops and ^Fnmm Fleet Brook neptunian dykes of fine-grained, red-brown siliceous material in the upper half of flows ^Fnmb indicate a time hiatus between flows. Veins of silica material, including jasper and Head S chalcedony, occur. l o 41 a Green n k 58 s o EAST FERRY MEMBER (Lower Flow Unit) (^Fnme): this unit occurs at the base of the Point o B Point B r Cu ^Fnme r o basalts and outcrops extensively on shorelines in the western part of the mapped area, B o Prim g o s a k but lesser in inland areas in the central and eastern parts of the mapped area. The basalt e r i t l r ^Fnmm Condons B a is grey-green and dominantly holocrystalline with microcrysts (À 5%) of plagioclase and r h o C Point Shag o pyroxene with variable (À 15%) amounts of mesostasis. The contact with the underlying k Cliffs Triassic Blomidon Formation sedimentary rocks, which are altered (i.e., whitish clay ^Fnmb 49 40 material) near the contact, is rarely exposed (e.g., north of Bridgetown, eastern side of 57 ^Fnmm F Bogart Digby Gut). (Note: The Blomidon Formation is not shown on this map series. See Keppie l e Lake e (2000) for location). The top (ÀÀ 1-5 m) and bottom ( 10-25 cm) of the flow are chilled and Tommys t M B Mill Cove i ^Fnmb Point c vesiculated with the top also locally red-brown due to oxidation. The unit contains well- m r o Point o developed polygonal jointing (i.e., columnar joints 2 m) of colonnade and complex a Johnson k c ^Fnmm B k entablature patterns. The upper part of the flow is distinguished by layers (30-50 cm) of ^Fnmb B k r Hill ^Fnmb o ls Bay Fleet 39 B l vesiculation, now occluded by zeolites, and also by bands (centimetres to 1-3 m) of mafic o u T r b k View Lake 56 o n r U ^Fnme pegmatite (upper 30-50 m).

  • Barriers to Fish Passage in Nova Scotia the Evolution of Water Control Barriers in Nova Scotia’S Watershed

    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.

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.

    Bay of Fundy Estuary Profiles Annapolis Basin Bay of Fundy Estuary Profile Annapolis Basin The Annapolis Basin is a sub-basin of the Bay of Fundy along the northwestern shore of Nova Scotia and at the western end of the Annapolis Valley. The Annapolis River is the major water source flowing into the estuary. At the NB mouth of the estuary, a narrow channel known as the Digby Gut connects the 44 NS estuary to the Bay of Fundy. Annapolis Royal and Digby are the main communities along the shore of the estuary, and Kingston-Greenwood is within the catchment area. Near Digby, there is a ferry port that connects to Saint John, New Brunswick. The estuary also hosts a tidal power generating station, which is near Annapolis Royal. The economy within the catchment area is largely driven by agriculture. However, Estuary surface area 104.07 km2 there are also several shellfish and finfish aquaculture tenures, and some Width at estuary mouth 1.85 km commercial fisheries near the mouth of the estuary that largely target Shoreline length 200.63 km invertebrates such as crab, lobster, and clams that inhabit tidal mudflats.

    THE WAMPANOAG, TRIBESPEOPLE “OF THE DAWN” “Ye see, Hinnissy, th’ Indyun is bound f’r to give way to th’ onward march iv white civilization. You ’an me, Hinnissy, is th’ white civilization... The’ on’y hope f’r th’ Indyun is to put his house on rollers, an’ keep a team hitched to it, an’, whin he sees a white man, to start f’r th’ settin’ sun.” — Finley Peter Dunne, OBSERVATIONS BY MR. DOOLEY, New York, 1902 HDT WHAT? INDEX WAMPANOAG WAMPANOAG When the English settlements first commenced in New England, that part of its territory, which lies south of New Hampshire, was inhabited by five principal nations of Indians: the Pequots, who lived in Connecticut; the Narragansets, in Rhode Island; the Pawkunnawkuts, or Womponoags, east of the Narragansets and to the north as far as Charles river;1 the Massachusetts, north of Charles river and west of Massachusetts Bay; and the Pawtuckets, north of the Massachusetts. The boundaries and rights of these nations appear not to have been sufficiently definite to be now clearly known. They had within their jurisdiction many subordinate tribes, governed by sachems, or sagamores, subject, in some respects, to the principal sachem. At the commencement of the seventeenth century, they were able to bring into the field more than 18,000 warriors; but about the year 1612, they were visited with a pestilential disease, whose horrible ravages reduced their number to about 1800.2 Some of their villages were entirely depopulated. This great mortality was viewed by the first Pilgrims, as the accomplishment of one of the purposes of Divine Providence, by making room for the settlement of civilized man, and by preparing a peaceful asylum for the persecuted Christians of the old world.
