It's 72 meters below, but it's not very big, and once it's full you'll have to wait for the water to evaporate away, I assume?

If it could be made a permanent bay of the ocean, that might make the area less of a disaster. But it seems real hard...

If it's below then the answer is no, so that answers my question. :) I was assuming it would be above sea level since it's inland.

Actually all.you need is a height difference, the direction doesn't matter. 72 meters is the limiting factor here.
