Lagoon is a unique aquatic organism, representing a shallow water body separated from the ocean or sea by reefs, islands, or sandbars. These deep-water formations serve as natural reservoirs for numerous marine ecosystems, creating ideal conditions for the life of various species of fish, mollusks, and algae.

Lagoon can be found in the most diverse corners of the world—from tropical coastlines to cold arctic regions. Each lagoon is unique in its composition and ecosystem. The clear water of the lagoon, often warmer than that of the open sea, creates a comfortable environment for aquatic flora and fauna. Shallow waters and protective structures allow diverse marine creatures to thrive and reproduce.

Typical lagoon formations include extensive marshy areas, beaches, and small islands. These natural formations can be surrounded by lush vegetation, providing a home for many waterfowl and other animals. Additionally, lagoons often serve as busy spots for recreation and leisure for people wishing to enjoy nature and water sports.

The changing seasons in lagoons also bring their own characteristics to this natural landscape. In spring and summer, lagoons may fill with various aquatic plants, while in autumn and winter—they become migration sites for many birds seeking solitude and food. Lagoons can change their contours under the influence of tides, creating new landscapes and conditions for life.
