A lagoon is formed when a body of water is partially enclosed by a barrier, such as a sandbar, coral reef, or barrier island. These barriers can develop due to natural processes like sediment deposition and coastal erosion. Over time, the enclosed area becomes distinct from the open sea, leading to the formation of a shallow, often brackish water body that can support diverse ecosystems. Lagoons can also be influenced by tidal movements, freshwater inflow, and human activities.
