The sea between these islands and the Mainland Väinameri is very shallow (less than five metres deep on average) and rich in shoals. The water of the Baltic Sea is brackish. Its average saltinity is only one fourth of that of the sea in general. Thus, most Estonian freshwater fish (about 30 species) also inhabit the sea.

Even though New Zealand is only about the same size as Colorado, the large coastline is possible because it is extremely iregular and indented. New Zealand's coastline is packed with deep coves, bays, intricate harbours, long sounds, and steep fiords. Its territorial waters stretch from the sub-tropical through to the sub-antarctic. Both islands tend to have better swimming beaches on their eastern coasts and the further north you go. The west coasts of both islands are quite rugged with cliffs and more unsettled weather. There are however some suitable swimming and bathing beaches here, with iron (volcanic) sand beaches (black sand) being common on the North Island.
