Great Bay is located in southern New Jerseys Atlantic Coastal Plain in Ocean and Atlantic Counties. The Mullica River flows into the bay, and together they form the Mullica River – Great Bay estuary habitat. The bay is connected to the Atlantic Ocean via the Little Egg Inlet. Great Bay is considered one of the least-disturbed marine wetlands habitats in the northeastern United States.
