Can we get there from here? Ecosystem based governance in the Bay of Fundy/Gulf of Maine region
<p>Decades, even centuries, of resource extraction and exploitation by humans have taken a toll on the Bay of Fundy/Gulf of Maine ecosystems. The very real threats posed by population growth and coastal development, climate change, habitat loss, overharvesting, chemical pollution, nutrient …

Ocean warming, acidification, and chemistry of the South Pacific & North Atlantic: a brachiopod investigation
… Paterson Inlet, New Zealand (1900–2021), and the Bay of Fundy, Canada (1970–2009) to track past oceanographic conditions and fill local data gaps. Global oceans recorded a decrease in δ13C DIC values of 0.50 ‰ (~1900-1985), comparable to the δ13CB value of -0.48‰ for Paterson Inlet (1900-2014), a …

Towards Characterisation and Classification of Canadian Macrotidal Salt Marshes
… the extent, distribution, and condition of tidal marshes in Canada, they have yet to be comprehensively mapped. Existing inventories show significant overestimation of Canadian tidal marsh extent, indicating that a regional model may be required. This thesis provides a review of freely …

Seabird foraging in dynamic oceanographic features
… These areas serve as important "hotspots" of marine life, by aggregating weakly swimming lower and mid-trophic level species which, in turn, attract foraging predators. Despite the importance of these dynamic features, we lack a comprehensive understanding of how they create foraging …

Wave and tidal power review
A review of the technology of useful conversion of wave power and tidal power is presented. These two power resources are reviewed separately, but on the same basis: principles of operation, existing devices or plants and research and development. Promising wave power devices in Britain, the United …

Food Resource Utilization By Five Species Of Benthic Feeding Fish In Passamaquoddy Bay, New Brunswick
Feeding relationships of various fish species, and their relationship to the composition of the surrounding sediments, were observed for one year at two sites in the lower Bay of Fundy region. The fishes were the ocean pout (Macrozoarces americanus), winter flounder (Pseudopleuronectes americanus), …

Mitochondrial genomics and Northwestern Atlantic population genetics of marine annelids
The overarching goal of this thesis was to investigate marine benthic invertebrate phylogenetics and population genetics, focused on the phylum Annelida. Recent expansions of molecular methods and the increasing diversity of available markers have allowed more complex and fine-scale questions to be …

The cost of locomotion in North Atlantic right whales (<italic>Eubalaena glacialis</italic>)
<p>Locomotion in any environment requires the use of energy to overcome the physical</p><p>forces inherent in the environment. Most large marine vertebrates have evolved</p><p>streamlined fusiform body shapes to minimize the resistive force of drag when in</p><p>a neutral position, but nearly all …
