Bay of Fundy Resource Inventory, Vol 2. Back Bay, Letang Inlet. Aurthur McKay, Robert Bosien.  March 31, 1978. 134 pp.

Marine Research Associates Ltd., Lord's Cove, Deer Island, N.B. undertook a survey in 1977 of the marine resources of the New Brunswick coast of the Bay of Fundy. This inventory is one of a series of volumes giving their findings. It was hoped that this survey would eventually include the entire coast and would cover intertidal, shallow-water, clearwater, and pelagic organisms and that the information obtained would serve as the foundation for intelligent management and utilization of the marine resources of the Bay of Fundy. The purpose of this study, and this document, was to catalogue, as fully as possible, the shallow-water marine resources of the Bay of Fundy coast. The coast was divided into zones, each encompassing a specific geographical area of a size where field work could be completed during a reasonable period of time. Zone locations and extents are shown on the page of this resource. This document includes a listing of all the significant plant and animal species in the Bay of Fundy, along with sections devoted to ecological evaluation, oceanography, and water quality & pollution.
