Marble Island (also called Rouen Islet) is an undeveloped island in the West Isles Parish of Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada, where the Bay of Fundy enters Passamaquoddy Bay.[1][2][3]
Evidence has been found that suggests it was occupied 3000 years ago.[4]
As David Owen had rejected efforts to build a customs house on Campobello Island, objecting to its aesthetic value in sketches and coincidentally reducing his trouble shipping across the international border, the government was forced to build one on Marble Island which proved less than effective.[5]
