Marystown
Marystown is a Canadian town in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador with a population of 5,506 .〔 Situated 306 km from the province's capital, St. John's, it is on the Burin Peninsula. Up until the early 1990s, its economy was largely based on shipbuilding, and it is due in part to this that the town experienced a population increase of 295% in just over a decade. The town was also dependent on the fish plant for employment.
Though the shipyard still holds a presence in the town, residents have had to look elsewhere for economic subsistence in the last decade or so. The closure of the fish plants in Newfoundland has also had its hand in the decline in economic subsistence. Mortier Bay also served a strategic role during the war, and was the site selected to evacuate the Royal Family and regroup the British Navy in the event of German invasion of Britain.〔(A Brief History of Mortier Bay and Marystown )〕
==Physical environment==
Marystown lies on hummocky volcanic rock of mixed composition. This rock is overlain by a very stony sandy loam glacial till which has a classic podzol soil profile in undisturbed areas. The vegetation is a barren dominated by sphagnum mosses, heath-type shrubs, and mountain alder.〔http://sis.agr.gc.ca/cansis/publications/surveys/nf/nf10/index.html〕
