This study carried out on the Kodjoboué lagoon during the seasons was aimed at highlighting the bacteriological quality of this water which is the site of several activities such as fishing, navigation, swimming, etc. It was carried out in the lagoon season during the months of March, August and November 2017. Bacteriological analysis revealed Total Coliforms, Fecal Coliforms, E.coli, Enterococci and Clostridium perfringens with average loads varying respectively from 583.33 CFU/100 mL ± 548.48 to 3166.67 CFU/100 mL ± 1877.05; from 85 CFU/100 mL ± 18.03 to 616.67 CFU/100 mL ± 475.22; from 23.33 CFU/100 mL ± 5.77 to 604.33 CFU/100 mL ± 503.47; from 14 CFU/100 mL ± 5.29 to 40 CFU/100 mL ± 34.64 and from 2.66 CFU/100 mL ± 1.15 to 8.66 CFU/100 mL ± 3.05. The average fecal coliform loads obtained below the Canadian Health standard, showed that these waters were of acceptable quality for recreational and sports activities.
