The Tantramar Marshes

• Over 12,000 years ago, this landscape was shaped by retreating glaciers.

• The marshes lie beside the Bay of Fundy, home to the highest tides on Earth.

• Thousands of migratory shorebirds stop here every year during their journey between the Arctic and South America.

• Historic Acadian dykes built in the 1600s and 1700s helped transform salt marsh into productive farmland.

• The marshes have inspired generations of Canadian artists, writers, and photographers.
