		Suruga Bay, its waters cloaked in deepest fl, is dark and forbidding; the realm of demons.
		It is bordered on the north by Mount Fuji, and on the east by the mountainous Izu Peninsula.
		Suruga Bay is, in a sense, an extension of the distant deep ocean, an alcove of the abyss.

		Suruga Bay is a relatively small open type bay, the width of the mouth and the depth into the coastline are both approx.
		The fl Current at the Suruga Bay offing flows eastwards over the Izu Ogasawara ridge, showing variations caused by rises/falls and movement of the cold water mass at the Enshunada offing.

	Goodnight Tokyo - 11 April 2001 - New Scientist Space
		The last major quake was in 1854 when an eyewitness spoke of a large plume of water erupting from the centre of Suruga Bay on the line of the plate boundary then spreading out as a devastating tsunami.
		He believes that some of the stress along that Suruga Bay fault line may have been relieved in 1944, by a major quake along the neighbouring Nankai fault.
		Furthermore, the measurements from Suruga Bay show that these slips - if that's what they are - are becoming increasingly frequent.

	Butyltin Residues in Deep-Sea Organisms Collected from Suruga Bay, Japan
		The present study was attempted to determine butyltin compounds (BTs), including mono- (MBT), di- (DBT), and tributyltin (TBT) in deep-sea organisms collected from Suruga Bay, Japan, in order to elucidate the contamination status and accumulation characteristics.
		The organisms were collected between 135 and 980 m in the aphotic bathyal zone and compared with those collected from shallow waters.
		These levels were lower than those in shallow-water organisms from the same bay but comparable to those reported in industrialized areas like Tokyo Bay, sug gesting the expansion of BT pollution in deep-sea ecosystems.

		Suruga Bay is about 40 miles long and 15 to 35 miles wide, bordered on the north by Mount Fuji and on the east by the mountainous Izu Peninsula.
		What makes it special is its extraordinary depth—plunging to more than 8,000 feet a few miles offshore—and the deep-sea creatures that live there.
		Using a variety of undersea equipment, including specially designed cameras and lens created by the National Geographic Society’s custom equipment group, the waters of the bay were explored from the 180-foot depth inaccessible to divers all the way to its dark bottom.

		Suruga Bay, which is located to the south of the foot of Mt. Fuji and west of the Izu Peninsula, is 2,500 meters deep, making it the deepest bay in Japan.
		The extremely steep slope descending from the shore is a unique geographical feature, and it is believed that this is because the area is where the Philippine Plate meets the Eurasian Plate.
		This unique formation results in rare marine life that can be found only in Suruga Bay and varieties of fish that have survived since long ago.
