I started this category because I thought it would be useful to have a list of lagoons, and because some lagoons do not have "lagoon" in their titles. When I started hitting the Pacific atolls, I saw there was a category for Atolls of the Pacific Ocean. I figure there's no point in assigning both categories, so skipped them after I hit the first few. We could define this category as "coastal lagoons", which would avoid overlap, ~~but there are a few atolls that aren't in the Pacific Ocean (see Marquesas Keys) which wouldn't fit in either category. Any thoughts?~~ (Found the Atolls category.) -- Dalbury^(Talk) 22:52, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
