description Amur River Delta Overview
The Amur River Delta is the low-lying distributary and wetland region at the mouth of the Amur, in the Russian Far East. The river enters the Amur Liman, an estuary connected with the Sea of Okhotsk through the Strait of Tartary, rather than discharging directly into the open sea. The delta and adjacent estuarine waters support floodplain, marsh, and coastal habitats, and the wider Amur estuary is important for migratory and commercial fish, including Pacific salmon.
