Alibey Lagoon (Ukrainian: Алібей, Romanian: Limanul Alibei, Turkish: Alibey Gölü) is a salty lagoon (liman) on the Black Sea coast of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi Raion of Odesa Oblast, Ukraine.
Following the 1856 Treaty of Paris (1856), settled the Crimean War (1853-1856), Russia had to return to Moldova a strip of land from southwest Bessarabia (known as Cahul, Bolgrad and Ismail).
As a result of this territorial loss, Russia had no access to the mouths of the Danube, and the exploitation of the salt was stopped.
Following the Treaty of Berlin (1878), Romania was forced to return Southern Bessarabia to Russia.
