New Flavour Doing Well
Something that certainly goes well with a sunny long weekend is a cold beer.
Joel Levesque is Vice President of Communications with Moosehead Breweries and tells us since launching their newest summer flavour -Moose Light Blackberry- at the end of June, sales have been great.
He says they've achieved their sales objectives and they're getting great feedback about it.
Levesque says the Moose Light Blackberry might be back next summer, or they might have a new flavour because consumers seem to be really interested in experimenting and product innovation.

Bay Of Fundy At Risk
(Photo by Gary MacDonald)
A St. Andrews marine biologist says the Bay of Fundy remains a resource at risk.
Jamie Steele tells us the bay's fragile ecosystem is linked to influences around it.
Steele says even though we strive for a balance between uses such as shipping or tourism -- we usually go too far the other way and have to backtrack to repair any damage to the ecosystem.
But -- Steele says talk of tidal power generators in the bay is miles ahead of past suggestions of large damns to harness the tides which would have a significant impact on the bay's marine life.
He says we have to become more aware of our own backyard and how we influence what happens in it.

Maine Lakes Experience Early Problems
Several Maine lakes, from York to Aroostook Counties, are turning green this year according to the Maine Department of Environmental Protection.

Biologist Roy Bouchard says the early thaw and warm water temperatures accelerate lake biology that results in the build up in nutrients and sediment and bloom with the right weather conditions.

Shellfish-Closure
There has been an outbreak of paralytic shellfish poisoning in our area. That has prompted the recreational and commercial harvesting of oysters, clams and scallops in the southwestern part of the province to be banned.
Closed are the foreshore and waters within 1.6 km of Southern New Brunswick from the Nova Scotia border along the coast of New Brunswick to the United States border and the foreshore and waters within 1.6 km of the Islands of Grand Manan, The Wolves, Bliss, Hills, Frye, Deer and Campobello.
The federal Fisheries Department says the outbreak is caused by naturally occurring toxins derived from plankton.
