Lagos Lagoon

Lagos Lagoon is a large, shallow body of water located along the coast of Lagos, Nigeria. It serves as a vital natural feature for the city, providing a hub for transportation, fishing, and recreation. The lagoon connects to the Atlantic Ocean through a series of inlets and channels, supporting diverse ecosystems and acting as a buffer against coastal erosion. It also plays an important role in the city's economy and environment. The lagoon's waters are influenced by both natural tides and urban development, making it a dynamic and essential part of Lagos’s geographic and cultural landscape.
