In the sourth of France, these are called étangs eg Etang de Thau. I don't know if there's a finger-shaped one, though

cours d'eau presqu'entièrement enclavé
Explanation:
je pense que l'accès à la mer ici est secondaire, puisque c'est à l'intérieur des terres. Dans ce cas précis, j'utiliserai plutôt enclavé

bande maritime, presque totalement enclavée, en forme de doigt........
Explanation:
enclavée entre la côte et la barrière de corail selon moi comme dans les cayos ou keys

sauf s'il s'agit d'une zone continentale, mais le nom Lagoon paraît étrange dans ce cas.

Why did the menu change?
The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to.
The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability.
More information on the changes...
Where is the "My ProZ.com" menu?
Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
I cannot find something
If you are having trouble finding something with the new menu, please
