bridge over tidal waters

subtidal land

high nature value farmland

All and singular that certain parcel or tract of land and premises covered at high tide by the waters of Boatswain Bay, which is situated on the east side of James Bay between Rupert Bay and the mouth of the East-Main River and is bounded, on the side towards James Bay, by a straight line connecting the western extremity of Neck-of-land Point and the northern extremity of the mainland point at the southwest end of Boatswain Bay and north of Mount Sherrick, all as shown on Canadian Hydrographic Chart Number 5800, together with all waters overlying the area above described and all islands, shoals, and rocks in Boatswain Bay, and together with all lands, marshes, and inla ...[+++]nd waters situated in the District of Mistassini, Province of Quebec, within two miles of any part of Boatswain Bay at high tide.

Another issue for the Atlantic provinces, which connects to the agricultural theme, is the potential loss of farmland in reclaimed areas, particularly around the Bay of Fundy where some centuries ago land was reclaimed, keeping the high tides from the rich river farmland areas.

Communities, like Advocate, which are actually below sea level at high tide and are only protected by a dike system will be flooded if the sea levels rise any amount at all.

The new state could have made a good start had it, for example, followed the Dutch example of building sea walls and draining populated areas which flooded during storm tides; there would have been more space for the inhabitants and their food supply.
