Abstract
"Preface
The 6th Bay of Fundy Workshop was held from September 29th to October 2nd, 2004 at the Annapolis Basin Conference Centre, Cornwallis Park, Nova Scotia. The years 2004-2005 mark the 400th anniversary of the arrival of Samuel de Champlain and a small group of French Colonists in the Bay of Fundy and the establishment of the first enduring European settlement in Canada. In the 400 years since, there have been profound changes in the Bay's ecosystems. On this anniversary it seemed timely to consider what has happened to the Bay during these four centuries, reflect upon its present condition, and discuss what needs to be done to ensure its continued ecological integrity and productivity. Fittingly, the Workshop theme was 'The Changing Bay of Fundy - Beyond 400 Years.".
