Lagoa da Fajã dos Cubres is a lagoon located in the parish of Ribeira Seca, on the north coast of the Portuguese island of São Jorge. The lagoon was listed along with Lagoa da Caldeira as a "Wetland of International Importance" under the Ramsar Convention in 2005. The term fajã refers to the plain areas created from landslides of the abrupt coastal cliffs.[1]
