Big Lagoon , sometimes known as Te Whanganui (both unofficial) is a lagoon beside Cloudy Bay in Marlborough , New Zealand. It outflows into the Pacific Ocean .[1] It is approximately 800 hectares and is part of the Wairau Lagoon , which is connected to Upper Lagoon and Chandlers Lagoon .[2]
There used to be a canal known as Ōrua or previously Morgan Creek which went from Ōpawa River to Big Lagoon.[3] Big Lagoon was previously a wildlife refuge, but this has been lifted and people are now permitted to hunt over the lagoon.[4]
Big Lagoon has beds of Ruppia , Chara and Nitella .[2]
Big Lagoon is in the plate boundary between the Australian Plate and the Pacific Plate . This means that Big Lagoon occasionally experiences strong earthquakes, which may causeliquefaction .[5]
