Rivers to the Sea

Top of page

The rivers of Atlantic Canada are unique because their closeness to the sea makes them ideal spawning grounds and nurseries for many kinds of marine fish that require fresh water to complete some part of their life cycle. Rivers to the Sea uses rich underwater photography and lively surface shooting to reveal both the beauty and the pollution of these tidal Atlantic rivers.
