资源简介:
The Petitcodiac River, which flows into Shepody Bay, drains a 3,000
km2 watershed area situated at the far reaches of the Inner Bay of Fundy. It is
the source of life of the most important ecosystem in south-eastern New
Brunswick. The aboriginal Micmacs named the river Pet-Kout- Koy-ek, meaning
'the river that bends like a bow', An important historic transportation route,
the Petitcodiac River and the Shepody Bay Estuary are important tidal systems
influenced by the phenomenal Bay of Fundy tides (from 9 m to 14 m), uncovering
kilometers of mudflats at low tide and nourishing some of the world's greatest
estuaries. Shepody Bay is home to a unique hemispheric shorebird refuge and the
feeding grounds of the entire East Coast American shad fish population.
