	Benthic Fauna/Communities, Part 1
		Northumberland Strait is that area between Prince Edward Island and the mainland of the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and has water depths of 10-20 m at the western end and >30 m at the eastern end (Kranck, 1972).
		A survey of the benthic fauna of Northumberland Strait from the northwestern to eastern end of Prince Edward Island was conducted in 1975 with 96 stations being occupied taking samples from depths ranging from 5-49 m (the majority were 10-20 m deep) (Caddy et al., 1977).
		Based on the reported sampling from Northumberland Strait between 1967 and 1998 it appears that polychaetes are present in the greatest species abundance (up to 91 species) followed by amphipods (up to 73 sp.), bivalves (up to 26 sp.), gastropods (up to 16 sp.), and non-amphipod crustaceans and echinoderms each up to 6 species present.

		The main environmental concern is the possibility that the bridge construction will harm marine life and devastate the relatively prosperous Northumberland Strait fishery ($70 million minimum annually).
		There is a distinct possibility that the bridge piers will tend to trap that ice in the northwest section of the Northumberland Strait, creating, when spring melt-down comes, two new climatic zones, a colder one to the northwest of the bridge and a warmer one to the southeast.

	Virtual Field Trip, Tour 1: The Great Ditch of Nova Scotia
		The diamicton overlying the soils-peat layer throughout the Northumberland Strait region is interpreted as a glacial till based on its compactness, fabric, landform expression, and distribution.
		It is the surface till plain throughout the region and was formerly thought to relate to a late northwestward ice flow based on striae and surface erratics derived from the Cobequid Highlands to the south (Stea and Finck, 1984).
		The widespread distribution of the Younger Dryas till along the Northumberland Strait coast establishes without doubt the validity of a Younger Dryas Gulf of St. Lawrence ice cap.

		The Northumberland Strait (the Strait) is a navigable body of water and the Bridge was built in accordance with permits issued pursuant to provisions of the Navigable Waters Protection Act, which preserves the navigation rights of vessels that have traditionally used these waters.
		1.5 The Northumberland Strait is a body of water that is subject to seasonal ice conditions and, because of the presence of the Bridge, vessels are not able to utilize the "shore leads" within ten miles on each side of the Bridge and must use the designated central navigation channel.
		5.5 When the Strait is declared an active ice control zone and ice is present in the navigation channel the vessel must be escorted by a suitably sized icebreaker for the transit under the bridge and for ten (10) nautical miles each side.

		The adjective “strait” ‘narrow, tight’ is pretty much restricted in modern English to the two expressions “straitjacket” and “strait-laced”, which most speakers seem to find opaque; its homophone “straight” at least makes some sense, especially in “straight-laced”, where there’s some possible connection to “straight” ‘conventional’.
