The Delaware Bay is a large estuary outlet of the Delaware River on the Northeast seaboard of the United States whose fresh water mixes for many miles with the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. It is 782 square miles (2,030 km2) in area.
There is a shipping channel and anchorage in the bay. It is one of the most important waterways in the United States, and the second busiest waterway after the Mississippi river.
There are oyster, crabs, clams, and many species of fish in the bay. In the early 1980s, the University of Delaware experimented in seeding the bay with the 'American lobster', Homarus americanus.
