Are lagoons still water?

Lagoons are shallow, often elongated bodies of water separated from a larger body of water by a shallow or exposed shoal, coral reef, or similar feature. Some authorities include fresh water bodies in the definition of lagoon, while others explicitly restrict lagoon to bodies of water with some degree of salinity.
