Saginaw Bay is a bay within Lake Huron located on the eastern side of the U.S. state of Michigan. It forms the space between Michigan's Thumb region and the rest of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. Saginaw Bay is 1,143 square miles (2,960 km 2) in area. [2] It is located in parts of five Michigan counties: Arenac, Bay, Huron, Iosco, and Tuscola.
The main strait is 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 miles (5.6 kilometers) wide with a maximum depth of 295 feet (90 meters; 49 fathoms), [2] and connects the Great Lakes of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. Given the large size and configuration of the straits, hydrologically, the two connected lakes are one body of water, studied as Lake Michigan–Huron.
A freshwater aquatic food web. The blue arrows show a complete food chain (algae → daphnia → gizzard shad → largemouth bass → great blue heron). A food web is the natural interconnection of food chains and a graphical representation of what-eats-what in an ecological community.
Combined, Lake Michigan–Huron is the largest freshwater lake by area in the world. [1] [3] [4] [5] Lake Superior is larger than either individually, so it is counted as the largest of the Great Lakes when Lake Michigan and Lake Huron are considered separately.

A food web is network of food chains, and as such can be represented graphically and analysed using techniques from network theory. [1] [2] Classic food web for grey seals in the Baltic Sea containing several typical marine food chains [3] The fourth trophic level consists of predatory fish, marine mammals and seabirds that consume forage fish.
The plural form is used to denote that each basin was a separate unit, with a narrow strait connecting each. Each basin stood at the same elevation and thus appear as a single body of water. Lake Michigan connected to Lake Huron by the Mackinac strait, except the water was 50 feet (15 m) higher.
