Tide flow information is most commonly seen on nautical charts, presented as a table of flow speeds and bearings at hourly intervals, with separate tables for spring and neap tides. The timing is relative to high water at some harbour where the tidal behaviour is similar in pattern, though it may be far away.
Cobscook Bay State Park is a public recreation area occupying 888 acres (359 ha) on the western shore of Cobscook Bay in Washington County, Maine.The park offers a view of dramatically changing tides that on average can rise to 24 feet (7.3 m) high with some reaching as high as 28 feet (8.5 m).
The tide has an average range of 18.4 feet (5.6 m) (and range that can exceed 26 feet) and there are strong currents as large volumes of sea water flow into and out of the bay twice a day. [1] The bay is very shallow with the average depth being about 10 metres (33 ft) and about one third of its area is exposed at low water. [ 2 ]
Tide tables, sometimes called tide charts, are used for tidal prediction and show the daily times and levels of high and low tides, usually for a particular location. [1] Tide heights at intermediate times (between high and low water) can be approximated by using the rule of twelfths or more accurately calculated by using a published tidal ...
The Bay of Fundy (French: Baie de Fundy) is a bay between the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, with a small portion touching the U.S. state of Maine. It is an arm of the Gulf of Maine. Its tidal range is the highest in the world. [1] The name is probably a corruption of the French word fendu, meaning 'split'. [2]
The Saint George River is a river in Maine with a watershed of 225 square miles (580 km 2) in a unique and historic area of mountains, sea coast, lakes, tidal streams and inlets. The origin of the Saint George River is the outflow of Saint George Lake ( 44°23′42″N 69°18′41″W / 44.3951°N 69.3113°W / 44.3951; -69.3113 ...

The table below provides information on Maine islands, organized by several key columns. Below is an explanation of each column. Registry #: The unique identifier assigned to each island by the Maine Coastal Island Registry (CIR). Multiple islands may share the same name, but each has a distinct registry number.
