This is a documentary about the fragile and complex marine ecosystem in the Bay of Fundy. The film traces relationships within the food chain - from tiny plankton to birds and seals and finally to whales and humans. The film is a plea for careful management of our ocean resource and was first telecast as part of CBC's Nature of Things series.

Ask students why they think the Bay of Fundy is one of the ocean's most abundant food sources for sustaining marine life. Questions for a general discussion: What are some of the animals that migrate to the Bay each year? How does the food chain work? Have students choose one of the Bay of Fundy's marine creatures and prepare a presentation for the class.
