The territory of the bay is divided among the municipalities of Novigrad, Obrovac, and Benkovac.

Geography

Southeast of the Novegradi Sea, the narrow Karinsko Ždrilo channel [4] [2] [3] or Karin Strait [7] (Karinsko Ždrilo), about two kilometers long [8] and 100 to 200 meters wide, [8] leads to the Bay of Karin. On the eastern side of the channel lies the village of Vozarica.

The Sea of Karin has an area of 5.4 km², [1] measures 3.8 km [1] by 2.4 km, [1] and has a maximum depth of 11 m. [1] Its main inflow is the Karišnica River [4] (Karišnica), which flows into the southern part of the bay east of Donji Karin.

In a cove in the northwest part, south of Barbakan Point, lies the small Karinski Školj  [ it ] (Karinski Školj), about 180 m [8] from the coast.
