Located at the mouth of the Bay of Fundy, the Huntsman is perfectly positioned to access one of the worlds most productive ecosystems. The daily rise and fall of the huge tide stirs up nutrients that provide food for the drifting planktonic community. This microscopic plants and animals feed large schools of fish and krill; whose abundance in turn attracts whales, porpoises , seals and seabirds from all over the North Atlantic. Out on the water students learn to identify the local species and observe their behaviour. Land time will we spent studying characteristics, adaptations, migrations and more.

Canada’s Bay of Fundy is an excellent outdoor classroom. The daily cycle of the eight meter tide stir up nutrients which provide the essential base for many marine food chains. Twice a day as the tide recedes the ocean floor is exposed allowing terrestrial creatures, like us, to explore. Join us as we venture out into this unique environment to see what we can discover and what the tide has left behind. What we catch and collect is what we will observe more closely back in the lab when the tide returns and covers our playground.
