Bay of Fundy Species Information System (OBIS Canada)

The Bay of Fundy Species Information System provides taxonomic,
biological and ecological information on diatoms, dinoflagellates, marine
algae, most invertebrate groups, fishes, shore birds, and marine mammals using
various information resources including published literature and experts for
specific taxa. The Bay of Fundy is a large embayment on the east coast of
Canada and is an integral part of a larger complex hydrographic system that
includes the Gulf of Maine. It contains and sustains a great variety of fishery
and wildlife resources and provides habitat for a number of rare or endemic
species, such as the right whale. The Bay of Fundy is best known for its
highest tides in the world, but also represents one of the most productive
ecosystems known.
