Connected to the rest of Canada by just a 28 kilometer/17 mile wide isthmus, you can expect to find everything 7400 kilometers/4630 miles of ever-changing continuous coastline would suggest. From spectacular beaches to rugged shores to craggy cliffs, the ebb and tide of the Atlantic Ocean dominates our scenery and way of life. But there is much more. Nova Scotia is a land of beautiful lakes, rolling farmland and breath-taking highlands. Many of our highways and byways take advantage of the scenery as do thousands of properties. With tiny villages, picturesque towns and urban centers, Nova Scotia offers a truly diverse landscape.

Extractions: The Bay of Fundy is a globally significant ecosystem. It is the nursery for the rarest of the world's great whales, the North Atlantic Right Whale; the most important migratory feeding area for shorebirds in eastern North America; and it is the summer feeding ground for all American shad spawned in rivers from Florida to Labrador. Captain Joshua Slocum, the first man to sail alone around the world was born in Westport on Brier Island, Nova Scotia. He sailed around the world in his 37-foot sloop "Spray" departing from Boston in April 1895 and arriving home in June 1898, landing in Newport, Rhode Island. The "fossil cliffs" at Joggins washed by the world famous tides of the Bay of Fundy were formed during a critical juncture in Earth history called the Triassic-Jurassic boundary. Each year the tides of Fundy expose a new layer of sediments and, with them, new fossils which may ultimately provide the answers to some of our most perplexing questions about the rise and fall of dinosaurs and the emergence of mammals.

Lobster, scallops, and haddock are the biggest catches. Inland, the forests yield spruce lumber, and the province's industries produce much pulp and paper. In the northwest there is dairying, the most important sector of Nova Scotia's agricultural economy, and the region of Annapolis and Cornwallis contains valuable apple orchards. There are also significant hay, grain, fruit, and vegetable crops. The bay lowlands, reclaimed by dikes in the 17th cent., are very productive. Manufacturing is the largest sector of Nova Scotia's economy. In addition to the iron and steel produced at Sydney, the province's manufactures include processed food (especially fish), automobiles, tires, sugar, and construction materials. In addition to its all-year port facilities, Halifax is a railroad terminus. There are both hydroelectric and tidal (at Annapolis Royal) power-generating plants. Coast, countryside, and historical sites attract tourists.
