Description

1 – Dnieper estuary; 2 – Southern Bug (Boh) estuary; 3 – Kinburn peninsula; 4 – Dnieper mouth

The estuary includes two parts: the wide Dnieper estuary (55 km long, up to 17 km wide), and the narrower Bug estuary (47 km long, from 5 to 11 km wide). The average depth is 6–7 metres (20–23 ft) and the maximum depth 12 metres (39 ft).

The estuary is important for transport, recreation, and fisheries. Its most important port is Ochakiv.

Historical events

The estuary was a naval battleground in the Russo-Turkish War of 1787–1792. A key event in that war was the Siege of Ochakov, while naval battles – which involved the Russian Dnieper Flotilla,^[1] John Paul Jones' deep-water fleet^[2]^[3] and the Ottoman Navy – included the First Battle of the Liman on June 7, 1788 and the Second Battle of the Liman on June 16 and 17.^[1]^[3]
