A small flowing body of fresh water is typically called a stream or a creek. These water bodies are important for ecosystem health, providing habitat for various plants and animals, as well as serving as a water source for surrounding areas.
A gulf, sea, or bay is an extension of a larger body, typically one of the major oceans or seas. The general term is that these bodies are an arm of the larger body.
One exception is the Caspian Sea, which is a large brackish lake.
* The name "bay" is often given to a more "enclosed" body than a gulf, which is seldom so enclosed. One definition of "bay" requires it to be bordered by land on three sides.
* Some bodies called "gulfs" are actual very wide "straits" (bordered only on two sides) that connect oceans and seas.
