Langebaan Lagoon Marine Protected Area, Marine protected area in Western Cape, South Africa.
The Langebaan Lagoon Marine Protected Area extends across 280 square kilometers of territorial waters, featuring mudflats, saltmarshes, and diverse marine ecosystems.
The region gained protection status in 1973 as a marine reserve under the Sea Fisheries Act before its incorporation into Langebaan National Park in 1985.
The area preserves traditional fishing practices through designated zones while maintaining environmental protection measures for future generations.
The protected area divides into three sections: a controlled zone for recreational fishing, a restricted zone for non-powered vessels, and a sanctuary zone.
The lagoon supports 32 percent of South Africa's saltmarshes and hosts 55,000 water birds, including 23 wader species during summer migration periods.
