Pelican Lagoon : ウィキペディア英語版
Pelican Lagoon

Pelican Lagoon is a seawater lagoon located on the north coast of Kangaroo Island, South Australia about south east of Kingscote. It was named by Matthew Flinders on 4 April 1802 after the large population of pelicans present in its waters and adjoining shorelines. Its role as fishery hatchery had been identified by the early 20th century with the result that fishing in its waters has been restricted in varying degrees. Since 1971, the entire lagoon has been part of a protected area known as the American River Aquatic Reserve where all fishing and the collection of marine organisms is prohibited.
== Description ==
Pelican Lagoon is a seawater lagoon located about south of American River and about south east of Kingscote. The lagoon is bounded by Dudley Peninsula to the east, the main body of Kangaroo Island to the west, an isthmus connecting the above-mentioned bodies of land to the south and an unnamed peninsula to the north that separates it from Eastern Cove. The lagoon is connected to Eastern Cove in Nepean Bay by an inlet named American River.〔 Hog Bay Road which is the main road connecting Penneshaw to Kingscote passes on the east and south sides of the lagoon.〔PIRSA, 2007.〕〔Department of Environment and Planning, 1987, page 64.〕〔Australian Government Department of the Environment, after 1971, American River Marine and Coastal Area.〕
The lagoon itself consists of two branches - one on the east side and the other on the west side which was described as being the ‘southern branch’ by Flinders in 1802.〔 The lagoon is drained of water by tidal flow via a narrow channel of in depth and which passes through the west branch in order to reach the east branch. The tidal flow is reported as being as high as .〔
The west branch has an average water depth of presumably at low water while the eastern branch has several deeper areas - the majority of its north side ranges in depth from and its south side has a number of deeper areas in the range of .〔
