Fundy Shore Calendar
|
For all of us who love the Fundy Coast...
 This “first run” glossy full color calendar for 2008 is an important fundraising effort for FCDA, and features a new local photograph for each month, accompanied by our local monthly tide chart. This is a perfect gift for yourself or someone you love - locally produced, environmentally correct, functional, and it doesn't need to be fed or dusted!
Space constraints in the Shoreline News do not allow us to include the tide chart there any longer, but this calendar provides you with the full chart in a handy location. Additionally, without a copy of this calendar you will be unable to enter our Photo ID Contest - running through the end of March. Entries which correctly identify the location of each of the large monthly photographs will be eligible for our grand prize drawing!
Orders can be placed HERE , or by calling our office at 902.532.1393.
The calendar is priced at $17.95, tax included, with domestic postage included. International mailings will require $1.95 additional to cover shipping charges, for a total of $19.90 CAD
Payment may be made by check - made out to FCDA and mailed to 30 School Street, Parker's Cove, NS B0S 1K0, via the PayPal “Donation” button here on our website, or by cash at our office during regular hours.
Thank you for your support and good luck in the photo contest!

Data
released by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) back in 2003 showed
that somewhere between 500 billion and a trillion plastic bags are used,
worldwide, every 12 months. That is a LOT of bags - nearly 3 billion EVERY
SINGLE DAY!

A Day in the Life of Fundy Fishermen
 Trawling for halibut aboard the “Alyssa C.” with Kevin and Dennis Corbett
The halibut fishery involves setting of a baited trawl line on the bottom of the Bay of Fundy. The trawl is sunk to the bottom, anchored and a buoy is attached to mark the beginning point, with a second buoy with a metal flag placed near the first to make it easier to locate the trawl when it’s time to haul. As the boat steams ahead, the trawl line is pulled from a number of prepared barrels at the aft of the boat. When all
