Minas Basin is the wide inner reaches of the Bay of Fundy, with a daily tidal range of 15 to 16 metres, among the highest in the world. The water takes on a unique reddish-brown colour from the large amounts of suspended silt churned continuously by the tidal currents, giving the basin a picturesque, ever-shifting character that changes with the tide. The area was designated a Hemispheric Shorebird Reserve in 1988, and the mudflats and shoreline attract hundreds of thousands of migrating shorebirds in season, making it as rewarding to stop and watch as it is to walk beside.
