By the sea - a guide to the coastal zone of Atlantic Canada. Module 2, To the horizon - the nearshore / main authors, Mark Butler [and six others]. : Fs23-289/1996-2E-PDF
"For the purpose of this module the nearshore is defined as that area known as the shallow subtidal, or roughly the area that can be seen from the shore to the horizon. It begins at the low tide mark and continues offshore to the 30-metre depth contour. This also defines what is known as the euphotic zone: that depth of water through which enough light penetrates for plants to grow. ... In Atlantic Canada the nearshore environment consists of the Bay of Fundy/Gulf of Maine system, the Scotian Shelf region, the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and coastal areas around Newfoundland and Labrador."--page 4.
