Geographic Information
Geographically, it is the eastward extension of Block Island Sound. Northeast of Rhode Island Sound is Buzzards Bay. The Rhode Island Sound is around 2,500 km² and has a maximum depth of 60 meters. Average wave heights range from 1 to 3 meters. Circulation and current strength are mostly impacted by the surrounding geology and not by wind strength. This causes the sea floor habitats in the Rhode Island Sound to be constantly changing.
