lagoons
Enclosed coastal waters
Lagoons are shallow bodies of water separated from a larger sea or lake by sandbars, barrier islands, or coral reefs.
The term also applies to the calm water enclosed by a ring-shaped coral atoll.
By extension, lagoon describes any shallow pond, especially artificial ones used for sewage treatment or waste settling: The factory's waste lagoon overflowed during the storm.
