It is predicted that the construction of power structures will have no measurable effect on Charlotte County groundfish landings as a whole. It is expected that the 1,700,000 lb or 12% of the Charlotte County groundfish catch, taken in 1958 inside the dam sites, will be greatly reduced. Specifically, it is forecast that the pollock line fishery in Head Harbour Passage, which yielded 1,500,000 lb in 1958, will be greatly reduced, the haddock dragger fishery will be reduced or eliminated in the high pool, and the flounder fishery in Passamaquoddy and Cobscook Bays will probably increase.

During 1957 and 1958, 137,469 herring were tagged in the southern part of the Bay of Fundy and the western part of the Gulf of Maine. These fish were immature and ranged in mean total length from 9.9 to 20.0 cm and in age from 1 to 3 years. Recovery of 3,582 (2.6%) tagged individuals showed that herring moved in and out of Passamaquoddy Bay irregularly throughout the summer and autumn with some tendency to concentrate at the head of this bay. Outward movement reached a peak in July when there was a considerable movement eastward towards Point Lepreau. Herring moved into Passamaquoddy from as far south as Grand Manan and from as far east as Point Lepreau. Little interchange of herring took place between the Passamaquoddy area and the coasts of Maine and Nova Scotia. The greatest straight-line distance from release to recovery points was 55 miles. More than half of the recaptures were made within 2 miles of the tagging sites and nearly two-thirds within 5 miles. About 28% of the recaptures were made within 1 week after tagging and 63% within 2 weeks. The average time before recapture was 12 days in 1957 and 17 days in 1958. The longest time between release and recapture for both years was 165 days. Drift bottles released with tagged herring showed no apparent relationship between herring movements and surface drift. The results of tagging support a general conclusion that the proposed Passamaquoddy tidal power structures will have no significant effect on the herring fisheries of the Passamaquoddy area.

Possible Effects of Passamaquoddy Tidal Power Structures on the Canadian Lobster Industry

Average Size

Lobster stocks outside Passamaquoddy Bay are not expected to be affected by the proposed development. Within the bay, the hatch, survival and settlement of larvae are expected to increase. An increased rate of exploitation, a modest increase in poundage of commercial landings, and a decrease in the average size of the lobsters caught are to be expected. The use of the bay as an important commercial collection, storage and distribution centre for live lobsters will be seriously affected.

Slow Progress

Women today are considered to be outside the political and administrative power structures and their participation in the decision-making process is non-existent. As far as their participation in the political life is concerned they are still on the margins. The existence of patriarchal society in Lebanon as well as the absence of governmental policies and procedures that aim at helping women and enhancing their political participation has made it very difficult for women to be accepted as leaders and to be granted votes in elections (UNIFEM, 2002).This above quote is taken from a report that was prepared to assess the progress made regarding the status of Lebanese women both on the social and governmental levels in light of the Beijing Platform for Action – the name given to the provisions of the Fourth Conference on Women held in Beijing in 1995. The above quote describes the slow progress achieved by Lebanese women in view of the ambitious goal that requires that the proportion of women occupying administrative or political positions in Lebanon should reach 30 percent of thetotal by the year 2005!
