Halls Harbour flooding illustrates dangers of sea level rise on Bay of Fundy communities

Recent flooding in Halls Harbour has helped illustrate that issues surrounding storms and sea level rise in the community have to be addressed. Like many other Kings County communities, Halls Harbour experienced flooding on Feb. 18 and 19. A heavy rain storm and melting snow combined with the high tide to flood Highway 359, leading to a temporary road closure.
