The tides create rip currents, whirlpools, seething up wellings and will reach a tidal range of 16m at the head of the Bay, the ebb and flow of the volume of water is 2000 times greater than the every day release of water of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the tides’ immense energy gives a highly productive, diverse and rich natural ecosystem that in turn shapes the environment, culture and economy of the region.
