The Bay amounts to approximately 110 km2 and lies behind an open boundary between Eastport and Lubec. This boreal, macrotidal estuary is dominated by energetic tides of high amplitude that result in thorough mixing of the water column. Source water is cool, nutrient-rich continental slope water that enters the Gulf of Maine through the deep Northeast Channel and spreads along the bottom to the upwelling zone at the mouth of the Bay of Fundy. The geographic boundary of the Bay proper can be extended out into the Head Harbor Passage when physical oceanographic information of water circulation is considered to define the region. Extreme tides, tidal upwelling, high incidence of summer fog shielding the intertidal from solar radiation, and unusually varied habitats have all been implicated as reasons for the diverse invertebrate fauna of Cobscook Bay. The distribution of surficial sediments is one indication of the diversity of intertidal and subtidal environments present in the Bay'","boundingBox":{"minLatitude":44.859,"maxLatitude":44.963,"minLongitude":-67.128,"maxLongitude":-66.988,"globalCoverage":false}}],"temporalCoverages":[{"@type":"range","start":"1842-01-01T00:00:00.001+00:00","end":"2004-12-31T00:00:00.001+00:00"}],"keywordCollections":[{"thesaurus":"GBIF Dataset Type Vocabulary: http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/dataset_type.xml","keywords":["Occurrence"]},{"thesaurus":"GBIF Dataset Subtype Vocabulary: http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/dataset_subtype.xml","keywords":["Observation"]}],"samplingDescription":{"studyExtent":"see Trott 2004","sampling":"see Trott 2004","qualityControl":"Scientific names associated with resource occurrence records have been mapped to recognized standards - marine taxa have been mapped to the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS).
