Jean-Jacques Albaret, « Fish communities in estuaries and lagoons », IRD Éditions, ID : 10.4000/books.irdeditions.25256
Estuaries and lagoons, along with mangroves and maritime marshes, occupy a considerable area along the coast of the African continent. Often subjected to strong marine influence, both in terms of their physical structure and their bio-ecological functioning, lagoon and estuarine environmental systems (abbreviated later as LEE) are nonetheless generally attached to the field of continental waters. In fact, the diversity of situations makes it difficult, if not impossible, to classify them as either marine or continental, and the term “interface environment” perfectly captures their nature and environmental functioning.
