The results demonstrated that the mean water temperatures during the monitoring period from May to October were higher in the largest rivers (from 13.6 oC to 16.1 oC) compared to those in the smallest rivers (from 11.5 oC to 15.7 oC). Similar patterns were seen for the maxi- mum water temperature: in large rivers from 22.9 oC to 25.7 oC, and in small rivers from 20.8 oC to 25.8 oC. Generally, lower water temperatures occurred in rivers with a high groundwater inflow rate, for example, in rivers of the Gauja basin, in particular, in the Amata River. Mann-Kendall test results demonstrated that during the monitoring period from May to October, mean water tem- peratures had a positive trend. However, the annual maximum temperature had a negative trend. Key words: water temperature, long-term changes, river, Latvia.

In the years between the two World Wars the concept became more political in nature: after Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania obtained their independence in 1918 the region gradually became understood as the geographical entity made up of these three republics. Although the Baltic region is geographically fairly homogeneous, each of the newly restored republics possesses unique geographical and strategic features.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA The length of the Latvian coastline along the Baltic proper and the Gulf of Riga is 496 km. Circa 123 km of the coastline is affected by erosion. The case area ‘Gulf of Riga’ focuses on coastal development within the Riga metropolitan area, which includes the coastal zone of two urban municipalities (pilsetas) – Riga and Jurmala (Figure 1). Riga is the capital city of Latvia. It is located along the lower stream and the mouth of the Daugava river. Its several districts (Bulli, Daugavgriva, Bolderaja, Vecdaugava, Mangali and Vecaki) lie in the deltas of Daugava and Lielupe rivers and on the Gulf of Riga coast. Jurmala municipality is adjacent to Riga from the west. It stretches ca. 30 km along the Gulf of Riga. It is the largest Latvian and Eastern Baltic seaside resort. 1.1 Physical process level 1.1.1 Classification According to the coastal typology adopted for the EUROSION project, the case study area can be described as: 3b. Wave-dominated sediment. Plains. Microtidal river delta. Within this major coastal type several coastal formations and habitats occur, including the river delta and sandy beaches with bare and vegetated sand dunes.

  • Pesco: the Lithuanian Perspective / September 2018
    #29 PeSCo THE LITHUANIAN PERSPECTIVE By Margarita ŠEŠELGYTĖ Studies Director, Institute of International Relations and Political Science, Vilnius University September 2018 The views expressed here are solely those of the authors. They do not reflect the views of any organization. Policy Paper PeSCo: The Lithuanian Perspective / September 2018 ABSTRACT The Lithuanian position vis-à-vis Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) derives from a national security concept, which suggests a clear division of labour between NATO and the EU, where NATO is accorded security provider function and the EU is considered as a source of economic welfare or the provider of so-called “soft” security. Reinvigoration of the European security and defence policy as well as increasingly challenging security environment, Brexit and impulsiveness of the actions of the US President, however, might inflict a revision of the current priorities. The paper outlines current Lithuanian position on PESCO, the factors shaping this position and the opportunities as well the challenges for more active engagement in various PESCP initiatives and p rojects. Keywords: PeSCo, Common Security and Defence Policy, Framework Nations Concept, European Defence Fund, European Defence Technological and Industrial Base, Lithuania. or a number of years being a pro-Atlantist member of the European Union (EU), Lithuania has been quite sceptical regarding the Common Security and Defence F Policy (CSDP) and the necessity to develop European strategic autonomy. The Lithuanian position vis-à-vis CSDP was highly influenced by its security concept, which has evolved since 1991 when Lithuania has re-established its independence in the face of the imminent threat from Russian Federation and is defined by its size and threat assessment.

Ministry of National Defence Republic of Lithuania :: Defence Policy » Defence Policy of Lithuania Defence Policy of Lithuania 1. The goal and objectives of Lithuania’s Defence Policy Lithuania’s Defence Policy is an integral part of the National Security Policy aimed at the development (formation) of the international security environment at the same time contributing to the international stability and peace, and formation of the national defence capability to ensure both - deterrence from an armed attack, and reliable defence in case of armed aggression. Objectives of Lithuania’s Defence Policy are: To ensure effective fulfilment of functions of the National Defence System in peacetime; To ensure readiness to conduct reliable defence in case of armed aggression, including readiness to conduct mobilisation and instruction of citizens; To contribute to the strengthening of NATO defence capacity and to other international-security building initiatives, including participation in multinational operations; To maintain readiness to respond to non-military threats by deploying military assets to assist state and municipal agencies 2. Principles of State Defence Legislation of the Republic of Lithuania sets forth the principles of State Defence which are the basis for formulation and implementation of Lithuania’s Defence Policy. Defence of Lithuania is full-scale and unconditional, it is implemented in line with NATO‘s principles of collective defence. The full-scale character of defence means that Lithuania has armed protection of the national armed forces as well as those of NATO allies, that national resources are invoked for the national defence, and that every citizen of Lithuania and the entire nation shall resist in every way defined as legitimate by the international law.
