An Environmental Bibliography for Cobscook Bay's marine ecosystem 
Abstract
"Overview

The Gulf of Maine ranks among the world's most productive and rich marine ecosystems. Many of the Gulf's most remarkable examples of dynamic physical processes, species richness and nature's abundance are concentrated in the northern Gulf of Maine around the mouth of the Bay of Fundy. The region contains North America's only boreal, macrotidal estuaries which include some of the least impact estuaries in the United States. Cobscook Bay, in extreme eastern Maine, is a preeminent example of such an estuary.

Cobscook Bay is a hydrographically and geologically complex estuary where very high levels of biodiversity and productivity are manifest. Cobscook Bay is at once unique and representative. It is the ideal focus for ecosystem research directed at understanding our vital and valuable boreal estuaries and embayments."
