a sea's secret pocket, guarded by reefs and built entirely on coral's blueprint.
means A shallow body of water separated from a larger sea or ocean by a barrier such as a reef, sandbar, or coral atoll.
from From the Italian and Venetian 'laguna,' itself from the Latin 'lacuna' — a hollow, pool, or gap — which is also the root of 'lacuna,' that gap in a text or memory. The same Latin parent gave us 'lake.' Venice, built across its own famous laguna, carried the word into wider European use, and English borrowed it in the 17th century.
