are Saaremaa with 2671 sq km, Hiiumaa with 989 sq km and Muhu with 200 sq km. 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. There are some 1450 lakes in Estonia (6.1% of its territory). The two largest of them are Lake Peipsi (the fifth largest in Europe) at 3555 sq km and Võrtsjärv with its 270 sq km area. About 1440 vascular plant species grow in Estonia, while ¾ of the total number of species are found in the coastal lowlands and islands. There are 82 species of fish living in Estonia, which are hard to divide into freshwater and sea species. 357 bird species have been recorded in Estonia, 221 of them breed in Estonia.

The region gets its name because, historically, it has been the centre of political and economic power in the country. Canada's capital city is Ottawa, Ontario. Toronto and Montreal are the two largest cities in Canada. Central Canada is also the most heavily populated and industrialized area of Canada, particularly in the south around the Great Lakes and the St Lawrence River. The Great Lakes are the largest body of fresh water in the world. In order of size, they include Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario. These waterways along with the St Lawrence River are an important transportation route from the Atlantic Ocean to  Canada's interior.
