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.
