Spiller, Judith. Analysis of Scientific Information Concerning the Transboundary Effects of Fundy Tidal Power. Complex Systems Research Center. November 7, 1983. 98 pp.

This report reviews scientific research concerning the Bay of Fundy and Gulf of Maine ecosystems in order to provide a basis for subsequent discussion of the adequacy of existing research to address projections of Fundy tidal power's transboundary effects. Part I introduces the geographic extent of the effects attributed to the proposed project; the variability of the forces and the linkages which structure the Bay and the Gulf; and the categories of effects which may be expected. Part II presents an analysis of the basis for predicting changes in the Bay and Gulf tidal regimes. The next sections (Parts III and IV) provide an analytical summary of relevant research on this region. Parts V and VI review phenomena which may contribute to predicted changes in the tidal regime.
