Ecology of the Bay / Écologie de la baie

Abstract

At the mouth of the St. Croix River, Passamaquoddy Bay lies along the border of Downeast Maine and coastal Charlotte County, New Brunswick. Passamaquoddy Bay is influenced by the extreme twice-daily tides and strong currents that bring nutrients from the deep ocean into the Bay of Fundy, creating a rich feeding ground for fin, minke, and humpback whales, and the endangered North Atlantic right whale
