	ACADIAN-CAJUN Genealogy & History: Cobequid
		Cobequid comes from the Indian word Wakobeitk, which means "the end of the water's flow." It was the name for the Acadian settlements between Pisiguid and the Chignecto.
		Cobequid appears in the council records of Port Royal in December of 1744.
		Along the bay shore, between the Shubenacadie and the head of the bay, were 30 families in the communities of Ville Perce, Ville Conde, and Ville Michel Aucoin.

		At Cape Chignecto the bay further narrows and it continues to shoal until it reaches approximately 10 metres (33 ft.) in depth, as the tide moves through the narrows, between Cape Split and Cape D'Or in the Minas Basin it continues to rise.
		When the rush of water reaches Cobequid Bay, the tides in the upper bay may rise as high as 16 metres (52.5 ft.).
		On the flats in Cobequid Bay, the tide moves at surges into the mouth of the Shubenacadie River, speeds of 13 kilometers (8 miles) per hour are common.

		The shape and profile of the entire Bay of Fundy was greatly affected by repeated glaciations during the Pleistocene.
		At the entrance to Cobequid Bay is a glacially scoured trough.
		The south coast of Minas Basin and Cobequid Bay is regionally important because of the significant concentrations of shorebirds in late summer and early fall, and the moderate numbers of waterfowl.

		Known historically as the "Seigneury of COBEQUID" it was later named Seigneury of St. Matthieu, from which the bay continues to bear witness to the historical name.
		Cobequid reached its greatest Acadian population in a 1748 Vensus with 145 families and a total of 800 people in the whole Seigneury - an average of 5-6 per family.
		It was these early Acadian citizens who made the area a significant commercial and agricultural center, using their skills in building dykes by which to hold out the salt waters of the bay and cultivating the rich marsh lands and surrounding the bay.

		In the Bay of Fundy the disk disappears at six to ten metres, while in the Minas Channel it is invisible after three or four metres.
		A mining company recently obtained leases in Cobequid Bay and is now seeking regulatory approval for exploratory surveys for titanium and other rare metals in the sediments along the southern Shore and in the lower reaches of the Shubenacadie River.
		The Bay of Fundy Fisheries Council, an umbrella organisation of fishermen’s groups from all around the Bay, is engaged with various partners, including BoFEP, to promote the development of an integrated fisheries management regime in Minas Basin and elsewhere in the upper Bay.

		Both air and water temperatures are +1 degree C. The mouth of the river is on the south shore of Cobequid Bay and is 9 km north of this point.
		Cobequid Bay is roughly 5 km wide here, narrowing to the east.
		Surface currents in this part of the Bay run to 3 kts (150 cm/s) and there are tidal bores on both the Salmon and Shubenacadie Rivers.

	::: Adventure Tours What is a Tidal Bore? :::
		The Bay of Fundy is particularly noted for its extremely high tides, the highest in the world, and for its tidal bores.
		In certain areas, such as the Bay of Fundy, the natural period of oscillation is very, close to the tidal period and, just like water sloshing back and forth in a bowl, the rise and fall of the tide is greatly amplified.
		Thus, the tide water enters the bay at its widest point, and as it passes along toward the head of the bay, it is in effect squeezed by the ever-narrowing sides and by the constant "shallowing" of the bottom.

		The largest city of the bay is Saint John, New Brunswick, located at the mouth of the Saint John River.
		The enormous tidal swings in the bay cause the Saint John River to reverse its flow at the Reversing Falls diurnally near its mouth.
		The bay is traversed by passenger and automobile ferry from Saint John, New Brunswick to Digby, Nova Scotia.

		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.

		Intertidal and deposits in Cobequid Bay, Nova Scotia, were studied as part of a field program begun in 1971 to study the mechanics of intertidal sedimentation.
		The field area is characterized by a mean semidiurnal tide range of 11.5 m with a maximum spring tidal range of approximately 17 m.
		Tidal currents appear to be the most important agent in the transport of sediment in the intertidal environment.

		The Cobequid Trail is a trail network through central Colchester County, the Town of Truro and the Village of Bible Hill.
		The Cobequid Trail is a cooperative effort of the County of Colchester, Town of Truro, and the Village of Bible Hill and was developed beginning in 1998 with significant contribution from community volunteers, the private sector and the Province of Nova Scotia.
		The trail begins at the Cobequid Trail gateway trailhead in Lower Truro and ends at the Cobequid Bay Look-off from which the famous tidal bore can be viewed.

		We spent the rainy afternoon of day 15 galavanting on the Cobequid shore of western Nova Scotia, on the Bay of Fundy.
		Whereas most of the rock we studied prior to Cobequid formed about 424 Ma (during the Acadian Orogeny), this area formed during the tectonic action of a major continental break-up, less than 200 Ma, at the beginning of the Mesozoic Era.
		In the Bay of Fundy region, extension occurred during the rifting, or opening, of the Atlantic Ocean.

		Cobequid Bay represents the easternmost arm of the Bay of Fundy and it suffers the most extreme tidal range in the system (up to 14m).
		A remarkable bored surface (Trypanites Ichnofacies) is present on the north margin of Cobequid Bay near Economy, Nova Scotia.
		The surface is the result of tidal ravinement, which has eroded the local Triassic sandstone and exposed it to boring and encrusting organisms.

	Economy, Nova Scotia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Economy is an unincorporated community of approximately 200 people located along the north shore of the Minas Basin/Cobequid Bay, at approximately 45°23'N, 63°54'W, in Colchester County, Nova Scotia.
		Considerably depopulated now, the village supported a ship-building industry during the late 1800s.
		Mi'kmaqs presumably named the area thus because here the shoreline juts out into the Minas Basin at what is now known as Economy Point.
