The Étang de Biguglia[lower-alpha 1] (or Étang de Chjurlinu) is a shallow coastal lagoon in the department of Haute-Corse on the French island of Corsica. The lagoon and surrounding reed beds are the largest wetland in Corsica, and are protected as a nature reserve. They are an important breeding and wintering site for waterbirds, and for some rare aquatic species. Commercial fishing is allowed, but is managed to prevent damage to the ecology.
