AbstractCoastal saline lagoons are areas of shallow, coastal saline water, wholly or partially separated from the sea by sandbanks, shingle or, less frequently rocks (Brown et al., 1997). They are of significant value to nature conservation due to the rarity in habitat and specialist species which they support, and are protected through a number of national and international wildlife designations. Under the Water Framework Directive, where coastal saline lagoons are of sufficient size, they are identified as �water bodies� and require assessment and reporting of ecological status. In England there are 28 lagoon water bodies.
