Lagos Lagoon : ウィキペディア英語版 | Lagos Lagoon Lagos Lagoon is a lagoon sharing its name with the city of Lagos, Nigeria, the largest city in Africa, which lies on its south-western side. The name is Portuguese, and means 'lakes' in the Portuguese language so 'Lagos Lagoon' is an example of a tautological place name. ==Physical Characteristics== The lagoon is more than 50 km long and 3 to 13 km wide, separated from the Atlantic Ocean by a long sand spit 2 to 5 km wide, which has swampy margins on the lagoon side. Its surface area is approximately 6,354.7 km².〔(Lagos Lagoon Coastal Profile: Information Database For Planning Theory ), by Obafemi McArthur Okusipe, Department of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Lagos - Accessed September 22, 2008〕 The lagoon is fairly shallow and is not plied by ocean-going ships, but by smaller barges and boats. The lagoon receives the discharge of the Ogun River and the Osun River.
