	Bay of Fundy - Tides Bay of Fundy
		The Bay of Fundy is known for having the greatest difference in water level between its high and low tides in the world.
		The Bay of Fundy is 170-mile-long (270 km).
		The Bay of Fundy is one of these ancient rifts which were formed due to a split in the continental plates forming deep rift valleys which got filled with sediments washed in from the land.

		The Bay of Fundy is a 170-mile-long (270km), straight-sided, somewhat funnel-shaped bay which splits at its northeastern head into two narrow bays, Chignecto Bay and the Minas Basin.
		The great tides of the Bay of Fundy are due to two unique characteristics of this finger of the Gulf.
		Drawn by the rich waters flowing from the Bay of Fundy and the resulting abundance of phytoplankton and fish in the area, the whales —; such as humpback, minke, sei, and the rare right whale —; come to feed and court.

	Bay of Fundy - MSN Encarta
		Bay of Fundy, large tidal inlet of the North Atlantic Ocean, separating the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, southeastern Canada, and bordering on eastern Maine.
		The tidal surge in Chignecto Bay produces a large crested wave, or bore, ranging to 2 m (6 ft) in height, in the lower Petitcodiac River in New Brunswick.
		Although Fundy is very deep, navigation is difficult because of the rapid rise and fall of the tide.

	fundy
		The Bay of Fundy's 13-hour period, or seiche (pronounced "sesh", meaning the rocking of liquid in a basin), almost equals the time between the high tides in the Atlantic Ocean.
		Similarly, the bay's seiche is sustained by a well-timed pulse from the ocean tides.
		The shape of the Bay of Fundy is a secondary factor causing the bay's giant tides.

	912 Outer Bay of Fundy
		The Outer Bay of Fundy lacks the intertidal mud flats and salt marshes of the inner reaches; the bottom consists of exposed bedrock and a coarse sand and gravel substrate winnowed by tidal currents.
		Tidal mixing at the mouth of the Bay of Fundy is important in the growth, during the summer months, of the dinoflagellates that cause paralytic shellfish poisoning.
		Witch Flounder are locally abundant in deeper waters at the mouth of the Bay of Fundy, and large spawning populations of Red Hake occur in Passamaquoddy Bay.

		The Bay of Fundy is 430 kilometers (270 miles) long and lies between the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
		Another is the funnel shape of the bay (as the bay's width and depth decreases, the tide's momentum and therefore its height increases).

	climate change
		Coastal areas, such as the Bay of Fundy, are particularly vulnerable to changes in climate, because it is there that the atmosphere and the ocean join forces to assault the land particularly aggressively on occasion.
		In the Bay of Fundy, a gently sloping shore means that even a slight rise in sea level exposes disproportionately large areas to the risk of flooding.
		People in coastal communities around the Bay of Fundy have always been acutely aware of the awesome power of the sea when it is whipped into a fury by winter gales.

	The Bay of Fundy - New Brunswick
		The Bay of Fundy tides have long been considered the highest in the world, although this claim has been challenged by evidence from Ungava Bay.
		The Fundy tides are responsible for: the vertical mixing of water in the bay, resulting in high productivity and low surface-water temperatures; effective mixing of sea water and fresh water in the estuaries of the bay; the exposure of large intertidal zones; and high turbidity at the head of the Bay.
		The Fundy shoreline consists primarily of steep cliff headlands with an intertidal wave-cut bedrock bench.

		First of all, the Bay of Fundy is shaped like a 290-km (180-mi.) funnel – wide at one end and gradually tapering at the other.
		Secondly, the Bay of Fundy experiences something call the “Seiche Effect” – similar to the wave action produced by sloshing water back and forth in a bathtub, each wave higher than the previous one.
		It is this comparison which led to the Bay of Fundy being called “the world’s largest bathtub”, with tides rising to the height of a four-storey building.

	THE PHENOMENAL BAY OF FUNDY
		The Bay of Fundy was formed millions of years ago in a combination of the continental shift and the movement of the glaciers.
		The Bay began as a rift valley, which is a crack in the earth's crust formed when the African landmass pulled free of North America to create the Atlantic Ocean.
		Our highest tides are created because of the funnel shape of the Bay of Fundy combined with the gravitational pull of the sun and moon, pulling in one hundred of billion tonnes of water each day.

	Grand Manan Whale and Seabird Research Station - NB - Canada, Seal page
		We have four species of seals which may be seen in the Bay of Fundy, one of which is common (harbour seal), one which is increasing in numbers (grey seal) and two which are sporadic visitors (hooded and harp seals).
		Harp seals are rare visitors to the Bay of Fundy, usually living in the Arctic in the summer and pupping on ice floes in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in the winter.
		Because of the rarity of this seal in the Bay of Fundy it is not considered a pest to fisheries or aquaculture, nor is it hunted, but would be treated in the same manner as harbour and grey seals when it occurs.

	913 Inner Bay of Fundy (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Inner Bay of Fundy comprises Cobequid Bay and Minas Basin (sub-Unit 913a) and Chignecto Bay (sub-Unit 913b).
		Chignecto Bay has extensive mud flats and the bottom is muddy, derived largely from shales on the nearby coasts.
		The Inner Bay of Fundy is estuarine in character and generally warmer than the Outer Bay, because of the pronounced warming of water as it moves over the mud flat, restricted circulation, and high turbidity.
