Coastal-Marine Lagoons are shallow water bodies that are separate from the sea but often located adjacent to and connected with it. Due to the significance of Coastal Lagoons, which are prone to high productivity and create suitable habitats, their identification and study are important. These water bodies are divided into two categories: atolls and coastal lagoons. Given the absence of atoll lagoons in Iran, this study focuses on the coastal lagoons influenced by coastal barriers and dams, which include coastal area lagoons, shore area lagoons, and mouthly lagoons. This research, while reviewing the sedimentology and biological production of lagoons, examines their human impacts and analyzes the location of coastal lagoons in Iran along with their temporal changes. Using Google Earth, the southern coastline of the Caspian Sea, encompassing the coastal regions of three northern provinces of Iran, and the northern coastline of the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea, covering the coastal zones of four southern provinces of Iran, were investigated for the presence of coastal lagoons. A total of 22 coastal lagoons, with an area of approximately 20,000 hectares, were identified, including 14 lagoons from the southern coasts and 8 from the northern coasts. These Lagoons include various types such as Choked, Restricted, shore area, and creek lagoons. Among these, only the Anzali lagoon, Kiashhar lagoon, and Estil lagoon have been previously identified as Lagoons. According to the findings, Iran has coastal area, shore area, and mouthly Lagoons, while marine (atoll) types are not observed. Additionally, all mouthly Lagoons fall into the category of creek lagoons, and no estuarine lagoons were observed.
