Films/Videos About the Bay of Fundy

  • Kingdom of the Tide (CBC Nature of Things). 44:08 mins. Canada has some of the richest intertidal zones in the world — not surprising in a country with over 250,000 kilometres of coastline. From the untamed Pacific to the wild Bay of Fundy, Sarika Cullis-Suzuki embarks on a coast-to-coast adventure to discover the survival secrets of those that inhabit Canada’s intertidal zones. Includes dramatic scenes of tidal flow past Cape Split.
  • Wetland – (1987; 28:50 minutes) Produced by Waterhen Film Productions for Ducks Unlimited Canada
  • Touched by the Tide. (27:12 minutes). Produced by Waterhen Film Productions for Ducks Unlimited Canada. The waters of the Bay of Fundy rock back and forth, pushed into continual motion by the twice-daily pulse of the Atlantic tide. The result is the highest tides in the world, and a diversity of shoreline habitats, which support a wonderful array of plant and animal life. This video explores the wetland habitats created by the giant tides of the Bay of Fundy, and traces the critical connections among their biological systems.
  • The Shores of Life. (27:31 minutes). Produced by Waterhen Film Productions for Ducks Unlimited Canada. Between the dry lands habitats of New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia and the salt water of the Atlantic, there is a vital band of wetland habitats. The shores are influenced by both the sea and the land, and create ecological systems that are more diverse and productive than either land or sea. This video explores the biological wealth of Atlantic coastal wetlands, from the microbes of the saltmarsh tidepools, beachcombing sandpipers and the Bald Eagles of Bras D’Or to human harvest of fish and waterfowl.

  •  Where The Sea Becomes The Bay. A half hour film made by Haligonian John Brett almost 25 years ago, but much of the information is still relevant. It certainly reminds us of the vitality of the Bay. This is a documentary about the fragile and complex marine ecosystem in the Bay of Fundy. The film traces relationships within the food chain – from tiny plankton to birds and seals and finally to whales and humans. The film is a plea for careful management of our ocean resource and was first telecast as part of CBC’s Nature of Things series.
