BuzzardsBay is a moderately large estuary located in southeastern Massachusetts between the western-most portion of Cape Cod and Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island.
The coastline of BuzzardsBay offers a wealth of diverse habitats including 5,000 acres of salt marsh, 10,500 acres of eelgrass beds, and 5,000 acres of tidal flats, which is essential to the marine life in and around the bay.
The BuzzardsBay Watershed encompasses all or part of 15 municipalities including the entire City of New Bedford, which is consistently one of the largest revenue-producing fishing ports in the United States.
BuzzardsBay is a bay of the Atlantic Ocean adjacent to the state of Massachusetts.
It is surrounded by the Elizabeth Islands on the south, by Cape Cod on the east, and the southern coasts of Bristol and Plymouth Counties in Massachusetts to the northwest.
The city of New Bedford, Massachusetts is a historically significant port on BuzzardsBay, known for its role as one of the world's most successful whaling ports in the early- to mid-1800s.
