Coastal Protection in New Brunswick
Abstract
"Introduction
Our coastal areas are an important part of New Brunswick's identity. From earliest times, when transportation was water dependent, these avenues to and from the sea have been home to a significant part of our population. Our earliest industries centered around fisheries and shipbuilding, and many early agricultural operations relied on draining coastal marshes. Today, our coastal areas continue to provide places to live and work for many New Brunswickers, and an increasing population of visitors. Coastal lands and waterways support fisheries and tourism and continue to play a part in transportation, all dependent to an extent on the natural habitat and ecosystems unique to our costs."
