Roosevelt-Campobello International Park
Campobello Island, New Brunswick
Long before US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt made his summer home here overlooking Fundy Bay, Passamaquoddy natives harvested clams, sea urchins, and other marine species off the island’s coast. Through the 18th and 19th centuries, French, British and Canadian settlers called Campobello home, fishing for cod, haddock, hake, herring, pollock, and mackerel. The Island also features two historic lighthouses, East Quoddy Head Light and Mulholland Light, as well as Roosevelt Park. Fishing is still a mainstay of Campobello’s economy. Local fishermen dig clams, haul lobster traps, drag for sea urchins and scallops, net herring and mackerel, and raise salmon in aquaculture pens.
