One of our local oracles, and most lucid explainers of tides, is Roy Bishop (retired Acadia physics prof). This site has a couple of short articles by Roy outlining the source of tides, and the Fundy phenomenon in particular: www.thehighesttides.com/what-causes-the-highest-tides.shtml Membership in the Blomidon Naturalists Society and our quarterly newsletter gets you a regular dose of Roy's thoughts on interesting phenomena both astronomical and terrestrial (see blomidonnaturalists.ca). [One thing Roy probably can't do, though, is explain "tidal effects on the internet."] Cheers, Doug Linzey
