A gulf is not a bay, and a fjord is not a lagoon — every hollow that holds water has a name of its own, borrowed from the shape of the coast or the ground that traps it. This puzzle hides sixteen of those names, from the narrow squeeze of a strait to the slow soak of a wetland. Find the salt ones, the fresh ones, and the dug-by-hand canal among them.
