These pages present a tabulation of various parameters for 141 coastal embayments for the Scotian Shelf, Bay of Fundy, and southern Gulf of St. Lawrence. These pages were originally published as D. Gregory, B. Petrie, F. Jordan, and P. Langille. 1993. Oceanographic, geographic and hydrological parameters of Scotia-Fundy and southern Gulf of St. Lawrence inlets. Can. Tech. Rep. Hydrogr. Ocean Sci. No. 143.

The presentation consists of a map and a table of variables which includes:

• Geographic - area at high water (HW), chart datum (CD), perimeter, axis length, volume at chart datum, maximum depth, width and area at the mouth of the inlet, and watershed area
• Oceanographic - mean and large tidal range, mean tidal volume, tidal current at the entrance and flushing time estimate
• Hydrological  - monthly mean and standard deviation of the freshwater discharge into the inlet
