	Petitcodiac River - Education - Information - Educational Resources - Encyclopedia - Music
		The river is 129 km long and drains an area of more than 2,000 km² in southeastern New Brunswick.
		The Petitcodiac exhibits one of North America's only tidal bores, a regularly occurring wave that travels up the river on the leading edge of an incoming tide, and hence a tidal wave in the truest sense of the term.
		The bore is actually caused by tidal activity in the Bay of Fundy, which due to the rapid rise of water levels, forcibly sends a wave of water flowing upstream in rivers that normally flow into the ocean.

	Final Reports Associated with the Petitcodiac River Causeway Environmental Impact Assessment
		The predictions made by the numerical modelling were at a macro level (on a river stretch basis rather than a discrete line or point basis) and were used to complement the other “predictive tools” used to draw the conclusions in the EIA Report.
		The calibration/verification of both the 1-D and 2-D sediment transport models is considered reasonable for this type of model and, in particular, for their application in predicting the physical changes in the Petitcodiac River estuary associated with modifications to the causeway.
		While the predictions on the river and estuarine characteristics developed from the numerical modelling are accurate from the perspective that they are consistent with information developed from other approaches used, the level of precision attained is that which is acceptable for environmental effects analysis.

		The Saint John and Petitcodiac rivers are especially affected by the bay.
		On the Saint John River the result is the famous Reversing Falls, where the force of the incoming tide reverses a series of low waterfalls where the river meets the sea.
		On the Petitcodiac River near the city of Moncton, high tides also produce a tidal bore (crested wave).

		The river was formerly navigable as far as Moncton (a distance of 50 km), but a causeway was built across the river between Moncton and Riverview in the 1960's causing extensive siltation of the river downstream.
		The Petitcodiac exhibits one of North America's few tidal bores, a regularly occurring wave that travels up the river on the leading edge of the incoming tide, and hence a tidal wave in the truest sense of the term.

		Rivers in the Bay of Fundy are part of a unique ecosystem typified by macrotidal conditions, with a tidal range up to 15 m.
		The Petitcodiac River is one of the few Bay of Fundy rivers where the environmental effects of a barrier to tidal flow have been reasonably well documented (Locke 2001, Locke and Bernier 2000).
		The lower 21 km of freshwater river, formerly part of the upper estuary, is now a shallow impoundment bounded by the causeway.

	DEATH WATCH ON THE PETITCODIAC (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Atlantic salmon, smelt, striped bass, sea-run brook trout, gaspereau and shad (migratory species that spend part of their life cycles in the river and part at sea) were all known to frequent the upper reaches of the Petitcodiac river and its tributaries.
		Today the river channel at the causeway is a mere 250 feet, or.08 kilometers at high tide, a reduction of 92 per cent.
		RESPONDING to increased public lobbying to have the causeway gates opened and the river restored, the provincial government was moved to consider the options open for the river, and the political and economic implications of those options.

	Dwarf Wedge Mussel
		In the case of this little New Brunswick mussel, the causeway built across the Petitcodiac River in the late 1960s caused the migration of salmon and other fish species in the river to be eliminated.
		In the Petitcodiac River alone, additional species of freshwater mussels may be lost forever from the watershed if the causeway remains closed.
		It is rare in the Petitcodiac and is not found in Canada outside of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

		Subject to a partnership agreement, the work will be carried out in three phases: two years for planning and site preparation; two years for opening the gates and environmental monitoring of the river; and three to four years for construction of the new bridge, depending on funding support and seasonal weather conditions at the time.
		The Petitcodiac River has been in its present state for almost 40 years.
		Once the gates are open, the seasonal response will need to be monitored for two annual cycles as the river, fish population, and the surrounding habitat adjust to the change.

		The Petitcodiac River is part of an estuary that flows into Shepody Bay, at the far reaches of the inner Bay of Fundy, draining a 3,000 square kilometer watershed.
		The main threat to the Petitcodiac River's integrity has been the lack of commitment to restore this endangered ecosystem to a free flow state.
		The river’s channel was originally 1.2 kms wide, but since 1968, when the causeway was erected across the river, it has shrunk down to only 80 meters.

		In 1968, a causeway was built across the Petitcodiac River at Moncton, NB to provide a highway link and protect the upstream farming lands from flooding caused by high tides.
		Some methods were developed for the correct determination of particle sizes. Test facilities have been fabricated to evaluate erosion parameters with depth using relatively undisturbed large cores from the field (0.08 m x 0.38 m).
		The main purpose is to relate erosion rates with sediment and flow parameters as a function of depth.

		The problem with the Petitcodiac dates back to 1968, when a causeway was erected across the river.
		Its channel, originally 1.6 kilometres (1 mile) wide, has since shrunk to 80 meters (263 feet), and its unique tidal bore, originally one to two meters (four to five feet) in height, is now little more than a frail ripple.
		Because of the impediment to the water’s flow, massive amounts of silt have been deposited downstream from the causeway and have caused the channel to close.
