Toward a Resilient Bay of Fundy Dave Thompson and Matt Abbott Fundy Baykeeper

Our Bay

Threats to Our Bay Climate Change Impacts Ocean Acidification Temperature Change Nutrients Aquaculture Sewage Industrial Activity Agriculture Habitat loss / degradation Tidal Barriers Shoreline developments Aquaculture

Irresponsible Shoreline Developments

Nutrients

Our past and ongoing work Establishment of the Musquash MPA Survey of BoF Tidal Barriers Assessing the impacts of salmon aquaculture and pushing for more effective regulation Tracking and securing removal of industrial marine debris Monitoring destructive shoreline developments Assessing the impact of nutrient pollution Advocating sustainable fishing practice

A Call for Resilience Differing approaches to our marine resources

Achievements so far Musquash Petitcodiac and other tidal barriers – Tidal flow beginning to be valued Improvements in industrial effluent (solids and chemicals) Improvements in sewagetreatment Reduction in large marine debris

What is to be done? Restore the St Croix! Address nutrient releases – (Aquaculture, sewage, industrial, runoff from municipalities and agriculture, atmospheric deposition) Enforced coastal policy to protect coastline habitat Address climate change
