Energy East Pipeline & tank farm

On the impacts of proposed Energy East Pipeline & tank farm . RED HEAD & THE BAY OF FUNDY are worth protecting ! The New Brunswick and Indigenous communities of the Saint John River Basin, the rural community of Red Head, and the remarkable bird, fish and whale populations of the Bay of Fundy will be put at unacceptable risk by Energy East. New Brunswick, the Wolastoqey Nation, the Bay of Fundy, and Red Head are not for sale!”

The Bay of Fundy is a summer home for the North Atlantic right whale, who are among the most endangered whales in the world. The bay also provides an important ‘nursery’ where the calves are raised. The top threats faced by right whales include ship strikes, low-frequency ship noise (that can cause them chronic physiological stress) and climate change which can diminish the availability of food in the oceans for them. About a dozen years ago Irving Oil rerouted their shipping lanes to reduce the risk of collision, but increased shipping and associated factors clearly pose risks.”
