Bay of Fundy

Everyday 160 billion tonnes of water flow in and out of the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia, more than 4 times the combined flow of all the world’s rivers. Every day an estimated 7000 MW of potential energy flows in and out of the Bay of Fundy. The Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia is home to the world’s highest tides. Across the world, the average difference between low tide and high tide is 1 m, but along the Bay of Fundy the tides can increase the water level by up to 17 m. What accounts for such a large differentiation? The two key factors are the vast volume of water in the bay, and the length and shape of the bay. Imagine a bathtub full of water, when set in motion the water will slosh around at a constant frequency, or period of oscillation.…

Economic Benefits Introducing a large-scale tidal power project in the Bay of Fundy region would create employment opportunities, increase GDP and tax revenue and may decrease health care expenditures. Employment 22 000 full-time equivalent jobs are expected to arise from a large tidal power project. The planning, construction and maintenance of the turbines would require many employees during both the construction and operation and maintenance phases. The majority of these jobs would be in…

The earliest evidence of the use of the oceans’ tides for power conversion dates back to about 900 A.D.”. In 2015 tidal energy is changing thanks to innovation in technology but it still has a long journey to go before it can compete with other renewable sources such as wind energy. FORCE (Fundy Ocean Research Centre for Energy) has been perfecting this technology so that Canadians around the Atlantic region can have access to a eco-friendly energy source that will not only provide them energy…

teaching, and in those teachings are the dignity of a human being, call to a particular group or family and to participate, rights and responsibilities, giving to the wellbeing of the poor, dignity and rights of workers, solidarity, and lastly care for god’s creation.

Reference Ecosystem for Arimawhai Point, Great Mercury Island Introduction When a company, community, trust or private land owner plan on creating a reserve on a degraded landscape they must consider using a reference ecosystem when in the process of planning how to create the reserve. A reference ecosystem is another ecosystem that has the same features as the planned ecosystem this can include temperature, average amount of rainfall, soil type/geology, vegetation type. Reference ecosystems…

carrying this year. Feelings of fear and frustration may lead to individuals not understanding the negative impact that aerial spraying might have on their environment in the long run. This makes it of top propriety to address any conflicts that might arise. It is suggested that Monroe County begins the process by holding community meetings informing individuals of why the change is necessary to ensure that the population of Monroe County is able to flourish in the coming years. It is also…

Among the other environmental issue, the most pressing health issue in Maryland that I selected as being the top priority and most essential is “Saving the Chesapeake Bay”. The Chesapeake Bay is an estuary, a body of water that is formed where freshwater from streams and rivers flows into the ocean, mixing with sea water. The nation’s water is in jeopardy to 10,000 miles of Maryland streams affected by the polluting industries that carved loopholes in the Clean Water Act.1 "Save the Bay"…

I have a dream of a future where humans take care of the environment. A society that takes pride in keeping the air clean, our natural habitats untouched, and our oceans free of pollution. It is time to become more educated about how our environment is damaged by contamination caused by fracking, oil drilling, and raw sewage. The pollutants leak into the land, enter the water systems, and air at nearby sites. I believe we can do better for our environment. The Chesapeake Bay is the third largest…

The Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in the United States located between Maryland and Virginia lying inland from the Atlantic Ocean. It has more than 150 major rivers and streams that are a part of the Chesapeake watershed covering parts of six states including: New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland Virginia and West Virginia. Nearly 17 million people living in areas that feed into the Chesapeake Bay watershed and affect the Bay water quality. The Bay plays a very important role in…
