Did You Know?

New Brunswick’s Bay of Fundy has the highest tides on earth and is one of the most accessible viewing areas for marine life in the world.

New Brunswick has many species of birds. Grand Manan Island in the Fundy Isles is one of the top birding spots in North America. Grand Manan Island is also the Dulse Capital of the World. Dulse is an edible dried seaweed with many healthy properties, containing many minerals and a variety of vitamins.

The Bay of Fundy is a pristine sanctuary for all kinds of rare, unusual wild creatures. Immense blooms of plankton provide a vast feeding ground for up to 15 species of toothed and baleen whales, including Finbacks, Humpbacks, Pilot whales and the rare right whale.

Kouchibouguac National Park extends over 238-square-kilometres of Maritime Plain Natural Region along New Brunswick’s scenic Acadian Coast. This mosaic of salt marshes, peat bogs, freshwater systems, Acadian woodland and sandy beaches has long captivated guests, one generation to the next.

Perhaps the most striking feature of the Kouchibouguac National Park is its sand dune system, which sits on a broken series of barrier islands extending over 25 kilometres. The dune system shelters the estuarine lagoons and salt marshes, forming a dynamic coastal environment greatly influenced by the presence of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The dune system is intensively dynamic – changing with rising sea levels, storms, and the long-shore transport of sands.
