Brus Lagoon

Brus Lagoon lies in the Mosquitia lowlands of northeastern Honduras, behind a narrow strip of Caribbean coast. Rivers, creeks and wetlands link the lagoon to a landscape of forest and coastal plains near the Patuca River. Miskito communities live along these waters, where fishing and travel by boat form part of life on the coast. The lagoon is one of several large wetland basins along this shore.
