Canada, the Bay of Fundy: a Struggle for Survival
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- The Bay of Fundy, characterized by its vast submerged plains and spectacular tides, is a remarkable ecosystem where terrestrial and marine life coexist in harmony. This exceptional site is home to a rich biodiversity, hosting animal and plant species perfectly adapted to extreme environmental conditions. Beavers, migratory birds, whales, and even the formidable great white shark can be found here. The tides, among the highest in the world, shape the landscape and dictate the rhythm of life for the ecosystem’s inhabitants. From marine mammals to shorebirds, all depend on these nutrient-rich waters. This haven of life serves as an essential refuge while remaining the stage for a constant struggle for survival.

Canada is absolutely gorgeous, like a piece of heaven on Earth. I wish to travel far to experience it!
I can’t believe I’m watching this for free-what an incredible documentary! I feel so lucky to live in the Bay of Fundy. I really hope there are more documentaries about the shorebirds; they’re absolutely fascinating to watch!
🙂💗👍Thank You I live on the Bay of Fundy Saint John New Brunswick Canada 🙂💙👍
I live across the bay in Digby. 👋 😊
I live in Dartmouth awsome video 🇨🇦🇨🇦
I live on the other side of the bay of Fundy near halls harbor
Me too
East side. Sj represents 😊
Thank you for giving us such a wonderful experience.
I live on the shore of the Bay of Fundy, more specifically Minas Basin. So here is my running commentary: minute 2: the winter ice only occurs in the uppermost reaches of the estuary, in Cumberland Basin (Hopewell Rocks) and Minas Basin, it doesn't occur in the Bay of Fundy proper, because the water there doesn't get enough fresh water addition to be able to freeze. Also the ice is not a 'harsh conditions' that 'makes life difficult'. The winter ice (which is becoming increasingly rare) is a nutrient provider to the marshes. The tide range isn't 16 m everywhere! It's 8 m at the mouth of the bay, increasing landward. The tidal bore doesn't just occur on the Petitcodiac River, it occurs on all rivers that enter into the upper Bay of Fundy / Cumberland Basin / Minas Basin. Why not tell us where Bennett Lake is exactly and what does it have to do with the Bay of Fundy region? There are thousands of lakes like it in Canada, they're not unique to Fundy. Same is true for peat bogs and peregrine falcons. Minute 9:13 - you've got the Kluskap legend COMPLETELY wrong! The 'legend' is an oral history of the rising sea level breaching the barrier that kept Minas Basin separate from the Bay of Fundy. This breach happened about 4,400 years ago. The whale part is good. Shorebirds: you should have stated that they winter in the Caribbean, then migrate to the Arctic where they breed, then return with their young to Fundy in late (!) summer to fatten up before trekking back South for winter (ok, this is covered later to some extent). I'm not sure why the puffin colony gets attention. Machias Island is at the very mouth of the Bay of Fundy (it's US territory) and they occur nowhere else in Fundy. Not something that Fundy is known for at all, but it does make for cute footage. Minute 23: "The temperatures regularly hit 40 degrees Celsius"?????????????? NO! That has absolutely never happened! In fact, the tides temper the air temperature, so that Fundy is always cooler than areas immediately inland. Min 24: ah, there they are, the semi-palmated plovers on their feeding stopover towards the Caribbean. But no! You're wrong! They don't 'rest at high tide' - because that's when they "practice" their flying skills. This segment was filmed at The Guzzle and at Penny Beach and I live very near those spots and see them there every year: they feed at low tide and they fly at high tide. And sometimes they'll sit for a few seconds. It's good to see Diana Hamilton, a foremost expert on semi-palmated plovers. Min 32: I've seen falcons and other birds of prey chase the plovers, it's beautiful to see this footage and the documentation of the catch. Minute 36: Lake Bennett is back. It's fresh water, it could be anywhere, it's unrelated to Fundy. Loons do indeed call both fresh and saltwater their habitat, but that's not mentioned here. So this is a 2014 documentary, posted now. It's an impression of this amazing environment, but I wouldn't call it a 'documentary' because not enough evidence-based documentation is presented.
Amazing video i love canada
Whales always fascinate me and my kids. They are so huge.
Maravilhoso documentário ❤😍🤩👍👍
Really excellent video with beautiful visuals and insightful content!
Such a wondrous place
Vidéo informative sur la vie autour de la Baie de Fundy où je réside !
beautiful country
Very nice documentary
Canada is beautiful ❤️
I lived in the Minas basin and could look out my windows and see Cape Split from Fox River in Cumberland County.
It is an absolutely beautiful area to live.
Nice
Merci pour votre voix magnifique😊
Very nice video showcasing the natural Beauty of the Bay of Fundy ! Awesome cinematography also !
Thank you
When I was around the age of 12 my parents moved us from Miami to Pine Island,Lee County Florida to a trailer park known as Flamingo Bay. They had exclusive use of a lil land spit that took us out to Flamingo Bay where we would see thousands of wading birds, including Sandpipers by the thousands. They arrived just before Christmas and stayed until just after the New Year. The whole bay area would be filled with the sounds of all the different birds, roseated spoonbills, flamingos, sandpaper, cerlews, ibises, wood storks, sandhill cranes and so many more. The sound was almost deafening but when they took off south the quiet was the most depressing. Over the years the bird populations have become less and less due to diminished water quality from water releases from Lake Okeechobee and the bird sanctuary Islands have been repeatedly shredded from hurricanes which leaves the migrating birds with very little safe overnight or layover spaces. It hurts to see all the destruction humans have caused in a once vibrant migration route. Thank you for this beautiful documentary about the Ba6y of Funde
Brilliant video. Narrator obviously not local (mispronounced words) but well worth watching.
Proud to say I live here by the Bay of Fundy and I get to see the tides rise daily, absolute amazing power and beauty from mother nature. Its a must see if you are coming to New Brunswick, it is only 40 minutes away to the tourist part of the "Rocks" from Trans Canada Highway 2, worth the detour! On the Nova Scotia side of the Bay, they have fossils from before the dinosaur age, and massive fossilized trees in the bay shoreline banks, also worth a good detour to Joggins Fossils. If you plan on visiting either site, make sure to plan with the tides so you can go down and walk the shore line.
There's some areas on the NB side for fossils also. I have some picked up from near St. Martins =D
This is such a Facebook comment 😂
I've lived on the Bay of Fundy my entire life and I've never seen it hit 40ºC. I think you meant it regularly hits 30ºC in the summer. On a rare occasion it might go as high as 35ºC but never 40º (and hopefully it never will). Other than that it's a good documentary. :)
Ich liebe Kanada. War die Stimme eine KI?
Nein
“Ingurgitating” my new word of the day .
I live about 4 or 5 hours from here🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
How could they get a frame without trash in it?
Scientists took sea creatures and fauna that live in and thrive on the low and high tides and brought them to landlocked States. They all died within two weeks. I live on a peninsula in the New York Harbour, situated between Staten Island and the West Hudson River - behind The Statue of Liberty 🗽 and I couldn't imagine living in an area that was landlocked. The magnetic pull of the moon works on the tides and it works on Humans, too 😅
On the East Coast, Route 1A is right on the Coastline and will drive you right up to The Bay Of Fundy.
You're doing a fantastic job! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
God Bless these SENTIENT creatures from heaven and earth bind them into your MANSION Lord Jesus Christ for they are harmonious with nature and not of form mind and present the way humans should be...God Bless Amen ❤
Some of the local names are mispronounced.
А почему не русская озвучка?
Субтитры мешают смотреть( и ничего не понимаю
Narrator sounds like a robot
I am Mikmak / Mi'kmaq .. I have lived at the edge of the Fundy most my life .. where I sit as I type, I can see Black Rock .. Cape Sharp .. Blomidon .. Cape Split and D'Or .. enjoyed this documentary .. but here comes the preverbal "but" .. in Mi'kmaw culture .. Kluskap (Glooscap) was never a god .. an extraordinary powerful being .. yes .. but never a god .. that being Niskan .. the creator .. wela'lin aq nmu'ltes ..
it's not "Fundy Bay" it"s the Bay of Fundy!!!!!!
That irritated me as well…along with the mispronunciation of Mathias Island et alim.
Can
It's too bad that AI (I think) was used to narrate this otherwise great production. The choice of an Atlantic Canadian human being who knows how to properly pronounce place names, etc., would enhance instead of detract from the quality of this piece.
KI‘s bei Reportagen mag ich nicht.
They must have worked hard not to film any clearcuts, half of the province is flattened now, and they're gonna flatten the rest asap
What ??
They are talking about the huge wind turbine farm in the area. Yes, IRVING definite clear cut huge quantities of trees for it.
Not true , trees are a natural resource and grow back , may property as been cut 3 times in my life time and guess what it is ready to be cut again.
Unfortunately Glyphosat and Irvings are not mentioned as biggest threat in NB
Refuge from Bill Gates
He is affected things world wide 😢
@@tanziejamiesonyou're so sweet and attractive wish I could be your close friend 💯💞💐🥰 hope you had a productive week sweetheart
Why the writing across the screen? So annoying.
AI narration: very irritating!
Ingurgitating....really, why don't you just use the scientific name....eating!!!
