AMAZING DELAYED CAMERA SEQUENCE ILLUSTRATING HUGE TIDAL CHANGES BAY OF FUNDY FISHING BOATS - NOVA SCOTIA - AMAZING ACTION GIF
Welcome to Nova Scotia's Bay of Fundy - Canada's Natural Wonder
Nova Scotia's Bay of Fundy is home to the most extreme tidal environment on earth. The highest tides in the world are found here within the Bay's Minas Basin. A billion tonnes of water flows in and out of the Bay of Fundy every 12.5 hours. That's enough to fill the entire Grand Canyon! It's more than the combined flow of all the freshwater rivers in the world and at its peak the Fundy tide can reach as high as a 5-story building. As a result Nova Scotia's Bay of Fundy is also the best site on the planet for "green" tidal energy.
With extreme tides comes extreme adventure! The Shubenacadie River empties into the Bay of Fundy and is the only place on the globe where visitors can experience the exhilaration of tidal bore river rafting. Along with the highest tides in the world, the complexity of the Bay of Fundy's marine ecology has been compared to that of the Amazon Rain forest.
