What does LAGOON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A shallow stretch of water separated from the sea by a sandbank, reef, or narrow strip of land.
A lagoon forms where a barrier of sand or coral cuts a section of shallow water off from open ocean, leaving calmer, often warmer water behind it, which is why lagoons are common around coral atolls and low-lying coastlines. The word also covers small lakes near a larger river or lake, and, more loosely, any shallow artificial pool built to hold water, such as a wastewater treatment lagoon. Because a lagoon is sheltered from open waves, it typically supports different plant and animal life than the sea just beyond its barrier.
