The Green Islands are undeveloped islands in the Grand Manan Parish of Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada in the Bay of Fundy.[2][3][4] They lie between of Wood Island and White Horse Island.[5]
They appear to be named for William Green, who was placed in charge of nearby Wood Island by William Ross and whose descendents laid strong claim to its future.[6]
The two major islands are "North Green Island" and "South Green Island", and form a Class 2 Protected Natural Area.[7][8] just above the larger Kent Island grouping of protected areas.[9] They are Class II Protected Natural Areas, administered by the Nature Trust of New Brunswick.[10][11] In 1971, Katharine Scherman wrote about the colony of gray seals on Western Green Island.[12]
