		Chaleur Bay, which lies between the GASPÉ PENINSULA, Québec, and northern New Brunswick, is the largest bay in the Gulf of St Lawrence.
		The bay is divided into 2 basins: the outer or eastern basin, with water depths mostly 70-90 m, and the inner or western basin, with depths generally less than 50 m.
		Near the entrance of the bay, cold, fresh surface water from the Gaspé Current enters on the north side, while flow on the south shore is directed outward into the gulf to create a counterclockwise gyre in the surface circulation.
