The term lagoon is derived from the Italian laguna, which
originally referred to the waters around Venice but currently
denotes a variety of geomorphologically and ecologically defined
systems, including atoll lagoons and coastal lagoons. While the
former are restricted to tropical latitudes, coastal lagoons are
common features of the coasts of all continents, occurring, as they
do, along about 13 percent of the worlds shorelines. This book
reviews the geology, characteristics and diversity of coastal
lagoons.
