 The Atlantic Coast region includes the barren and wind-swept regions from Yarmouth to Canso, extending several kilometres inland.The Triassic Lowlands is an area of soft sandstone, much of which is covered by water resulting from sea level rise.The remnant is the open ended Annapolis Valley which is sheltered by the Fundy Coast and the Atlantic Interior, providing a micro-climate unique to the Atlantic provinces and conducive to fruit and vegetable farming.
