Dykes, dams and dynamos : the impacts of coastal structures / [written and produced by J.A. Percy]. : En13-8/9-1996E-PDF
"For more than 350 years there has been an ongoing struggle to tame the unruly tides of Fundy, first with dykes and later dams, and more recently to harness them to generate electricity. All these activities have greatly altered the dynamics and distribution of sediments in the Bay, particularly in its upper reaches and larger estuaries. This has, in turn, caused great ecological adjustments, because, as Acadia University's Graham Daborn emphasises, in many parts of the Bay "it is the dynamics of the sediments that are the key to understanding the functioning of its ecosystems"--p. 4.
