Lake Akyayan
body of water
Lake Akyayan is a lagoon in Turkey.
Lake Akyayan lies in Karataş ilçe (district) of Adana Province at about 36°36′N 35°31′E. It is separated from the Mediterranean coast by a thin strip. Its east to west dimension is about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi). It is a shallow lake and at times connected both to sea and to Ceyhan River which is to the east of the lake. Thus the salinity of the lake is low. The lake environment is rich in fauna But the sand movement threatens the lagoon and the marine fauna is affected. Thus 1,700 hectares (4,200 acres) of land around the lagoon will be afforested by the Ministry of Forestry.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Lake Akyayan” as body of water. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as body of water. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q30622293. Authority coordinates are 36.597, 35.515. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
