	Natural History of the Bolinas Lagoon
		The lagoon is a nursery for tiny fish, many of which are important to commercial fishing industries, and which feed nestling herons and egrets in the nearby colony at Audubon Canyon Ranch.
		While Bolinas Lagoon is a sanctuary for the many species which spend most or all of their lives there, it makes its mark on a global scale as a crucial link in the chain of wetlands used by millions of waterbirds which migrate along the Pacific Coast Flyway.
		As more sediments settle in the lagoon, the volume of water that enters from the sea decreases, the effects of scouring are decreased, and the pace of sedimentation accelerates.

		The immediate plans call for the dredging of the lagoon to remove contaminated sediment, construction of a walking path around the lagoon and the addition of more natural vegetation on the north side to create a more wetlands-like area.
		That large storm drain runs from near Anaheim Street and Redondo Avenue to the lagoon, and during rain it brings unfiltered storm water straight into the lagoon.
		The original plans for that drain — the county’s plan to just expand the existing one into the lagoon — were the catalyst for the formation of the Friends of the Colorado Lagoon.

	Lagoon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A lagoon is a body of comparatively shallow salt water separated from the deeper sea by a shallow or exposed sandbank, coral reef, or similar feature.
		Lagoon refers to both coastal lagoons formed by the buildup of sandbanks or reefs along shallow coastal waters, and the lagoons in atolls, formed by the growth of coral reefs on slowly sinking central islands.
		Non-reef lagoon barriers are formed by wave-action or longshore currents piling up coarser sediments off shore of the beach.
