	New York Harbor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		New York Harbor is a geographic term that refers collectively to the bays and tidal estuaries near the mouth of the Hudson and adjacent rivers in the vicinity of New York City.
		Throughout most of its history, the harbor has been the most important port in the United States and furnished one of the principal means by which passengers and goods were transported to and from New York City and the rest of the country, particularly after the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825.
		Since the 1950s, New York City proper as a commercial port has been almost completely eclipsed by the container ship facility at nearby Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal in Newark Bay, which is the largest such port on the Eastern Seaboard.

Amer.’s largest marketplace of 80 million people, reaching into the Midwest, New England, and E Canada.
		On the N.J. side of the harbor are 2 major port cargo facilities: the Auto Marine Terminal (on Upper N.Y. Bay) and the huge (3 sq mi/7.8 sq km) Port Newark–Elizabeth Marine Terminal (on Newark Bay), the largest and most versatile terminal in the harbor.

		New York Harbor is an estuary, in which fresh water from rivers empty into coastal bays, and mix with salty ocean water.
		New York Harbor is directly connected to the open ocean, and tidally driven saltwater flows are about four times the volume of freshwater discharged by the rivers and wastewater treatment plants of the region.
		With tides entering the harbor, mixing with fresh water and leaving, there is an annual daily outflow of approximately 80 billion gallons per day of estuarine water flowing out of the harbor, and about 57 billion gallons per day of saline waters from the Bight entering into the Harbor.
