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.

  • An Ocean of Diversity: the Seabeds of the Canadian Scotian Shelf
    An Ocean of Diversity The Seabeds of the Canadian Scotian Shelf and Bay of Fundy From above the waves, the expansive ocean waters off Nova Scotia and New Brunswick conceal the many different landscapes, habitats and ecological communities that lie beneath. As the glaciers retreated they left a complex system of shallow banks, steep-walled canyons, deep basins, patches of bare rock and boulders. WWF-Canada and Fisheries and Oceans Canada have worked with respected scientists to create a new map of seabed (or ocean bottom) features of the region. This new map will be used to help guide the design of a network of marine protected areas (MPAs) in the Scotian Shelf and Bay of Fundy regions. Mapping seabed features Marine animals and ecosystems are difficult to survey, and we do not have complete, continuous maps of the distribution of species and communities in our region — in fact, new species are still being discovered. But species are adapted to particular physical characteristics of their habitat, such as the levels of light reaching the seafloor, the range of water temperature, and the type of seafloor, from bedrock to sand to mud. This relationship allows us to use readily-available information about physical characteristics to create a more comprehensive picture of the different habitat types — and therefore ecological communities — that can be found in the region. This is the approach taken in the development of the Seabed Features map. Marine geologist Gordon Fader brought together scientific studies, high resolution seabed mapping, and his own extensive knowledge of the region to define areas based on their shape (morphology) and the geological history that formed them.

  • Delineating Important Ecological Features of the Evangeline-Cape Blomidon-Minas Basin Ecologically and Biologically Significant Area (EBSA)
    Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat Maritimes Region Science Response 2018/005 DELINEATING IMPORTANT ECOLOGICAL FEATURES OF THE EVANGELINE – CAPE BLOMIDON – MINAS BASIN ECOLOGICALLY AND BIOLOGICALLY SIGNIFICANT AREA (EBSA) Context In 2012, a number of Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas (EBSAs) were identified in the Bay of Fundy through a Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Maritimes Region Science Advisory Process, including the Evangeline - Cape Blomidon - Minas Basin area (DFO 2012, Buzeta 2014). The area captures features with characteristics that fit with DFO’s criteria for EBSAs (Buzeta 2014). The Evangeline - Cape Blomidon - Minas Basin EBSA (hereafter referred to as the Minas Basin EBSA) was recognized as important in several reports documenting unique and significant habitat features in the Bay of Fundy region (Buzeta et al. 2003, Buzeta 2014). The Minas Basin EBSA encompasses a very large area, containing the Minas Channel, Minas Passage, Minas Basin and Cobequid Bay marine regions of Nova Scotia, hosting a variety of habitats important for diverse coastal and marine fauna. Buzeta (2014) described the spatial and temporal aspects of many of these features in general terms. Subsequently, further research has generated additional information pertaining to some of the features. While identification as an EBSA is not a legal designation, information on ecological features within the area can be used in sustainable management of marine resources and activities. To ensure the most up-to-date information on the important documented features of the Minas Basin EBSA are available for management decisions, DFO Oceans and Coastal Management Division, Maritimes Region, requested DFO Science advice on the important ecological features of the Minas Basin EBSA and their extent.
