Çesapik körfəzi

**Çesapik körfəzi** — ABŞ-nin Merilend və Virciniya ştatlarında yerləşən estuari. Körfəz Orta Atlantika bölgəsində yerləşir və Atlantik okeandan Delmarva yarımadası ilə ayrılır. Merilenddəki şimal hissəsi və Virciniyadakı cənub hissəsi ilə Çesapik körfəzi bu iki dövlətin ekologiyası və iqtisadiyyatı, habelə hövzəsi ətrafındakı ərazilər üçün çox vacib bir xüsusiyyətdir. Körfəzin  sahəsində olan və altı ştatın (Nyu York, Pensilvaniya, Delaver, Merilend, Virciniya və Qərbi Virciniya) bir hissəsini,Vaşinqtonun isə hamısını əhatə edən çay hövzəsinə 150-dən çox böyük çay axır.
