Abstract
The research described in this monograph focused on four principal questions:
-
1.
What are the potential transboundary effects of the proposed Fundy tidal power project and how adequate is the scientific information underlying these predictions?
-
2.
What is the nature and adequacy of the legal and institutional frameworks for environmental decisionmaking in Canada and in the United States?
-
3.
How well is scientific information incorporated into the environmental assessment practices of Canada and the U.S., particularly in regard to indirect and transboundary effects?
-
4.
What institutional changes may be appropriate to improve transboundary environmental decisionmaking?
