A branch of the warm '' Kuroshio '' (Black Current) warms the bay, allowing it to host marine organisms typical of more southerly regions and giving a mild climate to the land bordering the bay. The maximum depth of the bay is about 700 meters. Major cities on the bay include Chigasaki , Fujisawa , Hiratsuka , Ito and Kamakura . In 2004 soil samples from the bay were found to contain Radioactive Contamination from the Bikini Atoll Nuclear Tests that took place from 1946 to 1958 {Link without Title} . |
