T
he ocean tides push nutrient-rich water to the surface where the Bay
of Fundy meets the Gulf of Maine, between Brier Island (NS) and
Grand Manan Island (NB). The constant tidal influx of nutrients into
the Bay of Fundy supports a rich and diverse marine ecosystem of bot-
tom-dwelling sea plants, common and unusual fish, and sea birds. Several
whale species, including the rare North Atlantic Right whale, and other
marine mammals congregate in this “aquarium without walls.” Four whale
species are common in the Bay of Fundy, and other species occasionally visit.
Porpoises and seals are also frequently seen in this ecozone.
