Mecoacan Lagoon

Mecoacán Lagoon lies on the low coast of Tabasco, within the deltaic plain of the Mezcalapa River. Mangrove forests and marshes surround its shallow waters, which receive small rivers and communicate with the Gulf of Mexico through the Dos Bocas channel. The lagoon belongs to a wider network of wetlands and waterways shaped by the great rivers that flow across the southern Gulf lowlands.
