Shallow inland sea (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lagoon

(Other definitions for lagoon that I've seen before include "A salt-water lake enclosed by reef" , "Lake inside coral reef" , "Salt water lake enclosed by coral or sand" , "Body of water cut off from a larger body by a reef" , "Salt water lake surrounded by reef or sand" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
