Four boxcars filled with concrete are sitting on the floor of the Bay of Fundy near Walton, N.S., where residents are worried the debris — abandoned by another failed tidal power project — has become a hazard to local fishers.
In May 2023, massive air bags were used to float the rail cars to the mouth of Walton’s harbour, an area where about 20 to 30 recreational fishers pass through daily as they seek flounder and highly prized striped bass. |

An unusual scene emerges every time the bay’s record-setting tides recede to reveal the hulks, along with massive chains that were supposed to be used as moorings for Occurrent Power’s experimental tidal turbine. |
