Tri Limana (the Three Lagoons) is a coastal lagoon system north of Skalina. It consists of three shallow lagoons, a reed belt, and a channel to the sea. The system is the main fishing ground of the northern coast and the route of the copper barges.

Geography [edit]

The lagoons are separated by sandbars. The northern lagoon is fresh water, the middle lagoon is brackish, and the southern lagoon is salt water. The total area is 84 km². The average depth is 1.8 m.

The Zala river enters the northern lagoon. The Industrial Canal connects the southern lagoon to Zaligrad Bay. Dredging began in 1958 and the canal opened in 1961.

Economy [edit]

The lagoons produce mullet, eel, and reed. The state fish combine runs 40 boats. The reed harvest goes to the paper mill at Branishte. The barge route carries copper from Medenik to the sea.

The 1961 canal allowed 5,000 t barges to reach the coast. It also let salt water into the middle lagoon. The eel catch fell by 30 percent in the first five years. See Economy 1976.

Ecology [edit]

The reed belt is a stop for migrating birds. The state declared the northern lagoon a protected area in 1974. The protection order did not cover the barge channel.
