Against the tides : reshaping landscape and community in Canada's maritime marshlands / Ronald Rudin. by Rudin, Ronald. UBC Press, 2021. Call #: 627.5409163 R916a Subjects Canada. Maritime Marshland Rehabilitation Administration -- History.   Flood dams and reservoirs -- Fundy, Bay of -- History.   Reclamation of land -- Fundy, Bay of -- History.   Salt marshes -- Fundy, Bay of -- History.   Fundy, Bay of -- History. Series Nature, history, society. ISBN:  9780774866750 (hc) Description:  xxxii, 279 p. : ill. (b&w), maps (b&w) ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 265-275) and index. Summary:  "For four centuries, dykes turned salt marsh into arable land in the Bay of Fundy region of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. But by the 1940s, the aging dykes were in poor repair. Against the Tides is the never-before-told story of the Maritime Marshland Rehabilitation Administration, a federal agency created in 1948 to reshape the landscape. Agency engineers sometimes borrowed from long-standing dykeland practices, but they also disregarded local conditions in building tidal dams that compromised some of the region's rivers. This vivid account of a distinctive landscape and its occupants reveals the push-pull of local and expert knowledge, and the role of the postwar state."--Publisher.
