Lagune so običajno razpotegnjena območja slane ali polslane vode, ločena od večjega območja vode običajno morja, z plitvino, koralnim grebenom ali podobnim pojavom. Obalne lagune so definirane kot kopenska območja (stoječe) vode.
Term "Lagoon" is derived from the Italian "laguna", which refers to the shallow sea waters around Venice: The Lagoon of Venice. Lagoons are shallow, usually elongated bodies of salt or brackish water separated from a larger body of water by a shallow or exposed shoal, coral reef, or similar feature. Coastal lagoons are classified as inland bodies of water.
