The Bay of Fundy is renown
for having the highest tides
on the planet (16.2 metres or
53 feet). One hundred billion
tonnes of sea water flows in
and out of the Bay of Fundy twice daily – more water than
the combined flow of all the
world’s fresh water rivers.
Fundy’s extreme tides create a
dynamic and diverse marine
ecosystem. The Bay is renown for its
coastal rock formations,
extreme tidal effects
(vertical, horizontal, rapids
and bores) and sustainable
coastal development. It is also a critical international
feeding ground for
migratory birds, a vibrant
habitat for rare and
endangered Right whales, one
of the world’s most significant plant and animal
fossil discovery regions. The Bay of Fundy is located
between the Canadian
provinces of New Brunswick
and Nova Scotia on North
America’s east coast.
