This paper describes the ecohydrodynamic predictive model EcoPuckBay—the ecosystem part—for assessing the state of the Puck Bay coastal environment and its ecosystem. We coupled the EcoPuckBay model with the land water flow models (Soil a...

Coastal basins are particularly exposed to the adverse impact of anthropogenic stress. In many places, despite only the seasonal increase in the number of residents, progressive urbanization and associated changes in the catchment characteristics are...

In recent years, thanks to the enormous computational power of modern supercomputers, modeling has become one of the most highly evolving scientific fields. It is now possible to describe relatively large physical bodies and to study the changes occu...

The Port of Gdynia is the largest Baltic Sea port handling agricultural products and has adopted green port policies focused on sustainable development. Despite these measures, minor, unavoidable losses occur at transhipment points. With monthly grai...

Protecting groundwater against pollution from agricultural sources is a key aspect of sustainable management of soil and water resources. Implementation of sustainable strategies for agricultural production can be supported by modeling tools, which a...

The purpose of this article is to define the function of the Fishermen’s Sea Pilgrimage organised in northern Poland. It is the only boat pilgrimage on the Baltic Sea. One of the authors took part in nearly all the pilgrimages in the years 2004...

Mercury is a toxic metal that in excessive amounts negatively affects the human nervous system. It can biomagnify to enrich successive levels of the trophic web with higher and higher concentrations of Hg. Diatoms are cosmopolitan microalgae that rep...

The Gulf of Gdańsk environment has supported the development and growth of the local community for centuries but has been significantly degraded as a result of the progressive eutrophication process that started in 1960, the extensive exploitati...

Coastal lagoons provide vital ecological functions, supporting diverse flora and fauna while being highly sensitive to environmental changes. In the southern Baltic Sea, the Puck Lagoon is a hydrologically distinct subregion of the Gulf of Gdańs...

This study focuses on the modeling of groundwater flow and nitrate transport in a multi-aquifer hydrosystem in northern Poland, adjacent to Puck Bay (Baltic sea). The main goal was to investigate how changes in land use and farming practices may affe...

The transport of pollutants with flowing waters is one of the most common processes in the natural environment. In general, this process is described by a system of differential equations, including the continuity equation, dynamic equations, polluta...
