About: Dundalk Bay

An Entity of Type: WikicatBaysOfTheRepublicOfIreland, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Dundalk Bay (Irish: Cuan Dhún Dealgan) is a large (33 km2), exposed estuary on the east coast of Ireland. The inner bay is shallow, sandy and intertidal, though it slopes into a deeper area 2 km from the transitional water boundary. It is predominantly influenced by the sea, though several rivers drain into the bay from the west. In the northwest corner of the bay, the Castletown River cuts through the intertidal zone and the smaller River Fane flows into the southeast corner. While the shores of the bay are largely made up of intertidal flats, there is a significant area of salt marsh on the western shore. The catchment around the bay is of mixed agriculture and urban land use.

  • La baia di Dundalk (in inglese Dundalk Bay, in gaelico irlandese Cuan Dhún Dealgan) è un'ampia (33 km²) baia, situata sulla costa est dell'Irlanda. Consiste, fondamentalmente, in un estuario esposto. La parte interna della baia è poco profonda, sabbiosa e presenta un piano mesolitorale, sebbene, avvicinandosi alla costa, sprofondi rapidamente in un'area più profonda, situata a 2 km dall'acqua di confine e di transizione. Principalmente è alimentata da acqua marina, sebbene molti fiumi sfocino in essa da ovest. Nell'angolo nord-occidentale della baia il entra in essa tagliando la zona di transizione, mentre da sud-est il principale affluente è il . Sebbene la baia consista principalmente in una piana di marea, sulla sponda occidentale c'è una non trascurabile sezione di palude d'acqua salata. Il bacino della baia è per metà coperto da centri abitati, per metà destinato all'agricoltura. (it)
