- Humptulips-Grass Creek Wildlife Area Unit (wdfw.wa.gov)
The Humptulips-Grass Creek Unit is located in North Bay at the confluence of the Humptulips River, Grass Creek, and Grays Harbor. No maintained trails exist, and the best access is by boat or by the adventuring brush buster. This area is a popular waterfowl hunting and fishing site and has excellent birding opportunities. The unit is managed for tidal channel and estuary preservation in North Bay, salmon recovery, and waterfowl habitat.
- Gulf of Suez (Wikipedia)
The Gulf of Suez (Arabic: خليج السويس, romanized: khalīǧ as-suwais; formerly بحر القلزم, baḥar al-qulzum, lit. “Sea of Calm”) is a gulf at the northern end of the Red Sea, to the west of the Sinai Peninsula. Situated to the east of the Sinai Peninsula is the smaller Gulf of Aqaba. The gulf was formed within a relatively young but now inactive Gulf of Suez Rift rift basin, dating back about 26 million years. It stretches some 300 kilometres (190 mi) north by northwest, terminating at the Egyptian city of Suez and the entrance to the Suez Canal. Along the mid-line of the gulf is the boundary between Africa and Asia. The entrance of the gulf lies atop the mature Gemsa oil and gas field. The gulf is considered one of the world’s important maritime zones due to being an entrance to the Suez Canal.
