Abstract

Lagoons and lagoon coasts are widely spread along the shores of the World Ocean (9.2 % of the total length of the coastal line). Modern world economic, climatic and geopolitical processes create a need for comprehensive study of the Russian seas and coastal areas of strategic importance. The physical and geographic features of lagoons – their relative shallowness, protection from storm surges from the open sea, the large daily and seasonal variability of hydrodynamic and hydrochemical parameters, and high biological productivity – allow us to consider them as unique natural objects. The main definitions of lagoons in the Russian seas, their classification, and time evolution are presented in this chapter.
