L'estuaire de la rivière Grand Codroy est l'un des milieux humides estuariens les plus productifs de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador (les estuaires sont les sites où se mélangent les eaux salées et les eaux douces) et on y trouve de vastes étendues de barres de sable et de vasières intertidales, dont certaines abritent d'importantes colonies de zostères.
