Humpback Whales Are Seasonally Present Within the Bay of Fundy; They Migrate to the Bay for Feeding in the Late Spring, and Remain Until Late Fall (Ingram Et Al CA PDF Page 15 of 68 Energy East Project Volume 17: Biophysical and Socio-Economic Part A: Marine Terminal Complex Effects Assessment – New Brunswick Section 11: Marine Wildlife and Wildlife Habitat Humpback whales are seasonally present within the Bay of Fundy; they migrate to the Bay for feeding in the late spring, and remain until late fall (Ingram et al. 2007). They are also primarily found in the lower portion of the Bay of Fundy, with some individuals observed in the upper Bay (Figure 11-5; NOAA 2012). The minimum population estimate for the Gulf of Maine and Bay of Fundy was 823 individuals in 2008 (NOAA 2012). Minke whales found in the Bay of Fundy are considered to be part of the Canadian East Coast stock with an estimated abundance of 20,741 individuals in 2007 (NOAA 2013a). They are typically observed in the Bay from July to September, with some individuals remaining year round (Lien 2001). They are usually concentrated in the lower Bay (Ingram et al. 2007), with some observations occurring in the upper Bay (Figure 11-6). Atlantic white-sided dolphin and harbour porpoise, both toothed whales, are found-year round in the Bay of Fundy. Harbour porpoise has a wider distribution within the Bay of Fundy than Atlantic white-sided dolphin, although both species have concentrations in the lower part of the Bay (Figure 11-7 and Figure 11-8). The Gulf of Maine/Bay of Fundy harbour porpoise stock was estimated to have 79,883 individuals in 2011 (NOAA 2013b). The highest densities of harbour porpoises are observed during the summer (July and August) when feeding (Trippel et al. 1999), while densities decrease during the winter as many individuals migrate south to the eastern coast of the US (NOAA 2013b). Individuals have been observed in the upper Bay of Fundy and along the south and west shores of Nova Scotia, but numbers are much higher in the lower Bay of Fundy (COSEWIC 2006; Palka 2000). Atlantic white-sided dolphin densities in the Gulf of Maine and Bay of Fundy are higher in the summer and lower in the winter when the species move south down the northeastern seaboard of the United States (Northridge et al. 1997). They have been sighted throughout the Bay of Fundy, although concentrated in the lower half of the Bay and have an abundance estimate of 48,819 individuals in 2011 (NOAA 2013c). Harbour seals are the only pinniped species commonly found within the RAA, with highest abundances in the summer, but are present year-round (Jacobs and Terhune 2000; Rosenfeld et al. 1988; NOAA 2014). They are found throughout the Bay of Fundy, including near industrialized sites, with the highest abundance in the lower Bay of Fundy and moderate abundance in the upper Bay (Stobo and Fowler 1994). The best Canadian estimate of abundance is approximately 10,000 animals, based on summing other population estimates (COSEWIC 2007a). Marine mammal species, including SARA-listed species that are most likely to occur in the RAA are listed in Table 11-2. Energy East Pipeline Ltd.

This section provides an overview. 2.1 Overview of Canaport Energy East Marine Terminal Operations and Expanded Shipping Operations The proposed marine terminal will be located on the western shore of the Bay of Fundy, southeast of the City of Saint John and southwest of Mispec Point, New Brunswick. The marine terminal is proposed to be located adjacent to the two existing Canaport marine facilities: a single buoy mooring (SBM or mono- buoy) for offloading crude oil to the Irving Canaport facility, and the Canaport LNG terminal for import and now recently licensed for export of liquefied natural gas (Figure 1-1). The marine terminal will include pile-supported trestles and breasting/mooring dolphins for two berths that can accommodate Aframax and Suezmax tankers (Berth 2), as well as VLCC tanker types (Berth 1), with capacities of 113,300 to 348,000 m3 (710,000 to 2.2 million barrels). The two berths will be constructed simultaneously. Oil will be pumped from shore via a trestle approximately 645 m long. Berths 1 and 2 will be interconnected by a trestle approximately 380 m long. The marine terminal is expected to receive approximately 281 tanker calls per year for shipping of crude oil products originating from western Canada.

Background about Proposed Development (including a description of the proposed development): The proposed Shippagan Gully Dredging and Rock Protection project will take place at an established and active Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) - Small Craft Harbour (SCH) facility. The harbour is a Class A facility (greater than 800 vessel metres) that opens to an inlet in Shippagan Bay / Shippagan Gully, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence along the northeastern shore of New Brunswick (refer to Figures 1 and 2 in Appendix A). The fishing industry is a very important element of the local economy, and Le Goulet is an active harbour servicing the commercial fishery as well as recreational users. The Le Goulet Small Craft Harbour currently consists of a western training wall/wharf/rock protection structure, eastern rubblemound training wall, two floating wharves within the harbour basin, a concrete haul-out ramp, a parking/service area, a fenced upland storage area, various buildings including bait/storage sheds, an ice house, Harbour Authority office, and two former fish processing plants.

  • Point Lepreau Generating Station
    cAHoaWf -13- POINT LEPREAU GENERATING STATION BY G. H. D. GANONG/ A. E. STRANG, G. E. GUNTER, T. S. THOMPSON (N B POWER) CNA INTERNATIONAL CONFEBENCE OTTAWA JUNE 16-18, 1975 -14- ABSTRACT The incorporation of this large unit on N B Power's system has been made possible by innovative power system planning and necessary by the price and supply reliability of oil. Project management and the treatment of environmental impact and pub Iic.concern may indicate future patterns for nuclear energy i n Canada. I . INTRODUCTION In July, 1974 it was announced that a CANDU-600 MWe nuclear generating station would be built by N B Power at Point Lepreau on the Bay of Fundy about 24 miles south-west of Saint John. The station is scheduled to be in service in October 1979 and in commercial operation In 1980 to supply future needs for electrical energy in New Brunswick and to provide a measure of relief from dependency upon foreign oil. The introduction of a single 600 MWe unit on the New Brunswick grid offers the economy of size but during the first few years of operation it will present problems with reserve back-up due to its large size relative to other units on the N B system. In an effort to alleviate this problem, a proposal was made in 1973 to supply steam to an AECL owned heavy water plant which would be located on a site adjacent to the nucjear plant. An 800 ton/yr D_0 plant would have reduced the turbine-generator size by 168 MWe.
