AB - Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Nova Scotia, in this chapter I explore the ways in which independent and community fishers in the Bay of Fundy are seeking to carry forward old ways of living with tidal waters through the shifting present and into uncertain futures. Recent initiatives to develop tidal energy in the Bay of Fundy have intensified efforts to stake out claims to legitimate uses and ways of knowing based in everyday, practical encounters with, and intergenerational memories of, its tidal waters. In considering this particular case of living with marine tides, I attend to the ordinary practices of care for (and in) entangled socio-ecologies, the performance of memory and tradition, and the politics of resistance enacted through everyday ways of living and working on the Bay. Throughout, I reflect on the ways in which marine tides are never just a background or resource, but always active participants in the co-constitution of rapidly shifting socio-ecologies in the Bay of Fundy and beyond.
