The website is all in English, I suspect it's meant for American travelers. And 12 meters doesn't seem that high, but 40 feet is a lot.

As a Canadian, 12 meters is a lot. Even more, Fundy tides in Canada are just over 15 meters.

I'd understand if they put both metric and imperial in the english version, but why only feet? Altough there are a surprising number of translations (at the very bottom of the page), there are a massive amount of people that have english as a second language that don't use or understand the imperial system.
