The Bay of Fundy is located in North America at the end of the gulf of Maine between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. It is considered to have the highest tides in the world. An estimated billion tons of water move in and out of the Bay of Fundy twice a day. The water has carved out many sea caves and cliffs over the years. Upper regions of the Bay of Fundy feature mud flats and expansive salt marshes.

The tides in Canada's Bay of Fundy are the most extreme in the world. Because of the unique shape of the bay, the difference in water level between high tide and low tide can be as much as 48 feet (14 meters). Observing tidal changes over time at any coastal location can show interesting patterns. These patterns can reveal the relationship between tides and the lunar cycle. - Exploring Earth -
