Lake of Bizerte, Nature reserve and lake in Bizerte Governorate, Tunisia.
Lake of Bizerte extends over 120 square kilometers with depths reaching 12 meters in certain sections of the northern Tunisian waters.
The lake area contains archaeological evidence of ancient civilizations, including remnants of the Phoenician city of Utica near its southwestern shores.
Local fishing communities maintain traditional methods of shellfish harvesting, producing 120 tons of oysters and mussels each year from the lake waters.
Two ports operate at the lake, with a northeastern harbor for commercial vessels and a southwestern facility at Menzel Bourguiba for ship repairs.
The lake functions as both a freshwater reservoir and an industrial center, supporting steel manufacturing, oil refining, and cement production facilities.
