Periodically BoFEP produces publications pertaining to the Bay of Fundy
ecosystem. Some are "popular" in style and designed for a general
audience. Others are of a more technical nature and intended
primarily for a scientific audience. Some of the
publications listed below are produced independently by BoFEP members or
others,
but are of sufficient interest to the broader Bay of Fundy community
that they are reproduced here with permission of the author.
Many
of the publications are in
Adobe Acrobat pdf file format.

Working with Minas
Basin Watershed Community Groups - Summary Report. Lisa
McCuaig. February 2004. 30 pages [PDF format] |
In 2003, the Minas Basin Working
Group hosted a number of community forumsn in the
Minas Basin watershed area. The Working Group
implemented a work plan to address the issues that were
identified at these
community forums.
Subsequently, the Working Group hired
a coordinator to work with community groups to
develop action plans for the Minas Basin Watershed.
This is a report summarizing the results of this initiative.

Bay of Fundy
Tidal Barriers GIS Database Development.
Final Report.
Prepared by Danika van Proosdij and Peter Dobek,
Department of Geography, Saint Mary's University. 38 pages. [PDF
format] |
The purpose of this collaborative research project
was to integrate the Bay of Fundy Tidal Barrier Audits into a
comprehensive digital spatial database being developed in a concurrent
project with Environment Canada. Together, they will be used as a
baseline to assess the cumulative impacts of tidal barriers in the Upper
Bay of Fundy and serve as a platform for future research. The project
was carried out in partnership with Bay of Fundy Ecosystem
Partnership (BoFEP), Inc. and Environmental
Conservation Branch, Ecosystem Science and
Information Division, Environment Canada
Atlantic Region, June 30th , 2005.

Bay of Fundy Tidal Barrier Project. (Nova Scotia Pilot Project)
Prepared by Danika van Proosdij and Peter Dobek, Department of
Geography, Saint Mary's University.
[Digital spatial database in html and PDF formats] |
A collaborative research project initiated
in 2004 by the Department of Geography at Saint Mary’s University and
the Environmental Conservation Branch of Environment Canada Atlantic
Region to develop a comprehensive digital spatial database to integrate
a series of environmental indicators over time, which can serve as a
baseline to assess the cumulative impacts of tidal barriers in the Upper
Bay of Fundy. A key component of that project was to integrate the Bay
of Fundy Tidal Barrier Audits into a comprehensive digital spatial
database and to make the results of the audit available on-line to the
public.
