The Scotian Shelf is a geological formation, part of the Continental shelf, located southwest of Nova Scotia, Canada. It covers an area of 120,000 square kilometres (46,000 sq mi), is 700 kilometres (430 mi) long and ranges in width from 120 to 240 kilometres (75 to 149 mi). It has an average depth of 90 metres (300 ft). The Scotian Shelf contains the ecologically important Scotian Shelf Large Marine Ecosystem (LME) and the Scotian Shelf Waters (SSW).

has abstract	The Scotian Shelf is a geological formation, part of the Continental shelf, located southwest of Nova Scotia, Canada. It covers an area of 120,000 square kilometres (46,000 sq mi), is 700 kilometres (430 mi) long and ranges in width from 120 to 240 kilometres (75 to 149 mi). It has an average depth of 90 metres (300 ft). The Scotian Shelf contains the ecologically important Scotian Shelf Large Marine Ecosystem (LME) and the Scotian Shelf Waters (SSW). The northeastern boundary is defined by the Laurentian Channel, where it drops off to 400 metres (1,300 ft). Further south is the continental slope, which sharply drops off to a depth of more than 3,000 metres (9,800 ft). The southwestern boundary ends at the , including the Gulf of Maine. The Scotian Shelf is characterized by shallow, offshore banks 25 to 100 metres (82 to 328 ft) under the ocean surface, with deep basins and troughs between that vary in depth from 160 to 300 metres (520 to 980 ft). These culminate at Sable Island. A southwesterly ocean current, (occasionally containing runoff from the Gulf of St Lawrence) flows over the inner shelf. The water flow over the banks is weaker and tends have greater variation. The Scotian Shelf contains a canyon called the "Gully", which is more than 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) deep. Currents flow through this canyon southward, mixing offshore waters with the . This causes an increase in biological productivity toward the east, across the Continental Shelf.and contains body parts from multiple decades of animals The Scotian Shelf is heavily influenced by the Gulf Stream, resulting in a variety of marine species being present which are normally found further south. These appear at regular intervals due to the main current spinning off cores of warm water. (en)
