Ambiance Lagoon
In the middle of this island there is a mangrove fringed lake, slightly above sea level, where thousands of non-stinging jellyfish live. The jellyfish consist of four different species. They are non stinging, having lost their natural defense system because of the lack of major predators in the lake. This place is similar to jellyfish-lake in Palau, Micronesia. The lake has warm brackish water and the bottom is covered with marine green algae. There are other animals living here, some sea cucumbers, gobies, anemones, tunicates, crustaceans, nudibranchs, orange purple and yellow clams on the branches and snakes. The lake is at most 17m deep and visibility is not so good. From the beach to the lake you have to walk for about 10 minutes.
Kakaban was probably uplifted during the Holocene and sea water was trapped turning the area and formed a landlocked marine lake. The water is now a mixture of salt water and sweet water from the rain.
