The Carmel River Lagoon is located on the Central Coast of California, at the end of the 255 square mile Carmel River Watershed [1]. During high flows the sand bar at Carmel River State Beach is breached and the lagoon empties into Carmel Bay, part of the federally protected Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary [2].
