  • Tusket River & Basin

    Tusket River & Basin

    Tusket River & Basin Introduction The Tusket River presents an area of 3000 square kilometres (1158 square miles) on the southwestern tip of Nova Scotia. The area consists of a coastal basin with an inland watershed associated with the great Tusket River. This name is derived from a Mi'kmaq word "Neketaouksit" meaning "Great Forked Tidal River". This unique and diverse environment has offered natural resources to the Mi'kmaq First Nation's people for 7000 years and to the French Acadian settlers since the early 17th century. In the context of sustainable development, the present-day Acadians can offer a bilingual ecotourism package of nature-adventure and discovery blended with local history and heritage. The following natural history of the area will be presented in two segments. The first section will describe the natural environment of the Tusket Basin and its interrelationships with the Acadian people. The second segment will describe the natural history of the Tusket River in a similar manner to present the Acadian in his natural environment. Basin description 1. Physical features The Tusket Basin has a width of 32 kilometres (20 miles) between headlands at Chebogue Point and Lower East Pubnico. The mainland coastline between these two boundaries is highly indented and irregular with a measure of 500 kilometres (310 miles). Elongated points, peninsulas, ridges, drumlins (low hills) and eskers are oriented North-South and are separated by many tidal channels, inlets, estuaries and bays. High tide in the estuary of the "great forked tidal river" (Tusket) carries salt water inland for 24 kilometres (15 miles).

The expanded wilderness area extends protection to more of the groundwater recharge area and the associated North Tyndal Protected Water Area. Chignecto Isthmus is a critical land bridge that links Nova Scotia to New Brunswick and the rest of North America.

This may be done in partnership with other agencies and through agreements with non-government organizations. In 1998, 31 areas were designated under the Wilderness Areas Protection Act (1998, c.27, amended 2005, c.56, s.18) (the Act). Two additional areas, Gully Lake and Eigg Mountain-James River WAs, were designated in 2005. In total, the 33 WAs protect approximately 295,400 hectares (ha), which represents approximately 5.3% of the land area of Nova Scotia. When all categories of legally protected land are considered, approximately 8.2% of Nova Scotia is protected. The Environmental Goals and Sustainability Act (2007, c.7) focuses on the health of the environment, economy, and people of Nova Scotia. The legislation’s major objective is for Nova Scotia to have one of the cleanest, most sustainable environments while achieving economic prosperity equal to or greater than the national average (Government of Nova Scotia 2008).

    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.
