 This survey has demonstrated that the marine community at Point Lepreau is
typical of the exposed coast of the outer Bay of Fundy. RECOMM
Perhaps the most serious shortcoming in this work was the timing of the field
l season. A number of benthic species are not present or difficult to find during the
winter season. In part this has been overcome by the inclusion of additional summer

[ data from MRA files and we feel that we have established a good overview of both
summer and winter communities in the study area.

r Our specific recommendations for subsequent monitoring are:

1. TIMING. We recommend that future field work be carried out during the period
[ from May-do<September. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, the marine com-
munities are complete and flourishing during this period and thermal effects will
[ be most obvious when the water temperature is highest. Secondly, there is no
guarantee that winter field work will be completed. The winter of 1979-80 was
sufficiently mild with enough calm days to allow completion of the work. This is
f not true during the "average" Fundy winter when prolonged periods with high
winds prevent successful field operation, particularly on the exposed coast. In ad-
[ dition, survey costs are considerably greater during the winter.

2. ADDITIONAL WORK_ At a minimum, summer aerial mapping of the intertidal

[ area should be made at low water during spring tides. These photographs should be
used to determine the distribution and abundance of marine organisms associated
, [ with rockweed. We believe that such data will provide the easiest, most rapid method
of assessing changes in the area. In addition, this is a relatively inexpensive way of
monitoring impacts should funds be limited in the future.

While the transect data provided here will be suitable for monitoring population
changes in the future we believe that a grid should be established around the out-
fall and that the spatial distribution of principal macrofauna should be mapped.
Like the aerial mapping of the intertidal area, this should provide baseline data for
rapid, relatively inexpensive, assessment of subtidal benthic changes. As outlined
in the text, species of particular interest in this regard are: Ha/ichondria sp, Tubularia
sp. Balanus balanoides, Gammarus ocean;cus, Mytilus edulis, Acmaea testudina/is, Strongylo-
centrotus droebachiensis, bryozoans. As indicated by our work at Coleson Cove, the
appearance of Flustra fo/iacea should be considered an
mental changes.
3. MONITORING PERIOD. We believe that this mari

should be insured by a pre-survey assessment of radia
study area.

L
 This report is the first of two volumes. The principal objective of this work
INT
was to obtain baseline ecological data for evaluation of the impact of the thermal
effluent from the Point Lepreau Nuclear Generating Station on local marine flora
[ and fauna. MRA had carried out a benthic marine survey at Coleson Cove in 1974
and, as a secondary objective, a comparative survey was carried out during this

I study with a view to applying the results to the Point Lepreau outfall. Volume 2
covers the work carried out at Coleson Cove. This volume deals with the work
carried out at Point Lepreau.
r
1.2 BACKGROUND 1.3 OBJECTIVES

l Although it is expected that no significant or obvious environmental damage

will result from the discharge of heated water, and its constituents, from the Point
Lepreau nuclear generating station outfall, it is possible that sublethal effects may
occur as a result of the influence of heat, biocides and/onadionuclides. Changes
in such biological functions as growth, respiration rate, reproduction and behav-
iour are possible, and could manifest themselves in altered species diversity and
community structure in populations of organisms exposed to the heated effluent.
[ Because benthic organisms are relatively immobile and because they form char-
acteristic assemblages related to specific water quality parameters, these organisms
[ are ideal as indicators ofecolbgical effects. Effects related to effluents from the
Point Lepreau cooling water system should manifest themselves in altered species

Some baseline work has already been done in relation to the Coleson Cove ther-
mal generating station. Although this work was primarily qualitative in nature, it
would be useful to reoccupy the stations established for this baseline work, to de-
termine whether there has been an effect due to the operation of the Coleson Cove
station. This information would be useful background for carrying out the Point
Lepreau study.

 2.1 SUBTIDAL SAMPLING TECHNIQUES
MATERIALS AN
All divers were equipped with "wet" suits and accessories or constant volume
dry suits (UNISUITS). The Unisuits proved to be invaluable during winter oper-
ations and allowed our divers to operate in extremely cold waters with much the
same comfort as in summer. Single 72 cu. ft. air cylinders with single hose Posei·
don regulators were used on all dives. Recordings of depth were taken from Aqua-
Lung underwater depth gauges checked against measured depths. Underwater
observationsw"ete recorded in pencil on Appleton Underwater "Ascot" paper.

Spot dives were conducted by moving into shallow water at a predetermined

site. Divers entered the water and roamed widely over the bottom at various depths
recording the substrate, abundance of resident organisms, water temperature, and
depth relationships encountered. Where quantitative data were required, a quadrate
L was placed at random on the bottom and the numbers of animals within this square
were counted. Upon completion of the dive, the diver was debriefed using a special
Site Data Form.
Transects were run where detailed information on a site was required as shown in
Figure 2.1. The dive team consisted of two divers, a dive-tender, and boat operator-
debriefer. The divers were responsible for examination of the transect area, record-
ing of data, and the collection of specimens, The dive-tender was responsible for
deploying and picking up the diving team and insuring their safety on the surface.
The boat operator-debriefer was responsible for maintaining the support vessel, recor-
ding the dive site data, and debriefing the divers at the conclusion of each dive to
insure that the maximum amount of information was obtained. On steep cliffs run-
required a quadrate was placed at the station and coun
square. Any distinct change in substrate or faunal com
tween statiOns was also recorded. This activity was car

ning into deep water, one end of the transect line was anchored at the base of the
cliff or, if possible, at the low water mark and laid across the bottom at right angles
to the shore and anchored to the outer end. When currents permitted, the survey ves-
sel was anchored to the other end of the transect line. When this was not possible,
both ends of the transect line were marked with a buoy.
Divers entered the water at the anchor line or outer marker buoy and proceeded
to dive to the other end of the transect line. Numbered markers on the transect line
indicated each of thirty-five stations at 3 meter intervals. At each station, the diver-re-

4.2 GEOLOGY
4.4 CURRENTS
Since substrate largely determines the distribution and abundance of benthic

I organisms, the geological character of any area is usually a primary influence on

the marine community. This is particularly true at Point Lepreau where a variable
bedrock geology produces distinctive variations in marine substrates.
.1 As can be seen in Figure 4.2.1, there are nine principal geological formations in the
study area. However, because of the manner in which these formations strike the coast,
[ the study area is divided into two distinct areas:

The physical characteristics of some areas are such

mouth of Lepreau River to Beaver Harbour.

[. The significance of th.ese two major formations is considerable in terms of the mar-
ine community. The character of intertidal and subtidal bottoms from Maces Bay to
the east is influenced by sand derived from the erodable sedimentary bedrock. As can
be seen in Figure 4.2.1, sedimentary deposits extend westward to Seeley's Cove
l where sand deposits are probably formed by current borne sand particles. To
the west, hard volcanic rocks dominate most of the exposed coast and, as is dis-
cussed later, assemblages of plants and animals are similar to those found on
hard exposed coast elsewhere in the mouth of the Bay of Fundy.

Topographically, the coastline is rocky and rugged with elevations reaching 150
feet. However, there are numerous inlets, bays and harbours (Deadman's'Harbour,
l Beaver Harbour, Poco logan Harbour, New River Harbour, Lepreau Harbour, Little
Lepreau Basin, Dipper Harbour, Chance Harbour and Musquash Harbour) and it is
at these localities where most of the extensive intertidal mudflats are found. Estuarine
l species occur commonly where freshwater streams flow into ambayments but such
areas are generally restricted.

 5.4 SEASONALITY
Since the study was carried out during the winter season many species may
appear t~absent or less abundant than would be the case during the summer.
All additi:;al field stud'( data (Figvre 5.1.1) were collected during the summer of
1978 and these data can be used to provide a rough indicator of anticipated dis-
...... .. .

" '.
~ ..
5.5 INDICATOR SPECIES AND SUBSEQUENT MONITORING
Examination of the transect and quadrate data as well as the literature shows
that numerous marine species occur in the study area. Many of these species. how-
ever, OCC1,lf in small numbers in scattered localities. Others are characteristic to the
area and should be su.itable for primary evaluation of impacts. Aerial monitoring
of rockweed distribution, for example, should provide a rapid method of determin·
ing intertidal effects. For other species, transects and quadrates can be re-run to
determine changes.
Species which we feel should be given close attention throughout the monitor·
ing program are:
.. '.,
PLANTS .~
1) ROCKWEEDS - Both Ascophyllum nodosum and Fucus sp provide essential cover
for intertidal animals. Physical removal of this cover will reduce populations of peri-
winkles, dogwhelks, limpets, gammarids, etc. Aerial photographs provide the best
method for monitoring spatial changes in distribution and abundance. Baseline
photographs should be taken during the summer, just prior to start·up, and on
the same date each subsequent year.
2) L1THOTHAMNION Sp, CORALLINA AND RELATED SPECIES - Encrusting
Coralline algae are universally present on rock bottom in the study area. Mortality
i~ these species is readily determined by color changes from pink to white. Annual
checks of Lithothamnion near the outfall could provide a rapid indicator of major
impacts from heat or biocides.
