Background

Marovo Lagoon is the largest double-barrier enclosed lagoon in the world. Located in the New Georgia Islands, Western Province, Solomon Islands, between Vangunu and Nggatokae islands, both extinct volcanic islands, at 8.48°S 158.07°E. It covers 700 km2 (270 mi2) and is protected by a double barrier reef system. The Marovo Lagoon World Heritage Area is considered an area of high biodiversity and conservation value. The name Marovo is derived from the island of Marovo in the centre of the lagoon.
