INTRODUCTION The Baltic Sea is a semi-enclosed sea of brackish water which is open to the North Sea through the Kattegat and Skagerrak Straits. Its shallowness and small link to the ocean mean that the exchange of waters is very slow and conducive to pollution. The salinity of the Baltic is very low, productivity is very high, and eutrophication is an ongoing problem. Despite its relatively low contribution to the Polish economy, fishing plays an important role in the economy and society of coastal areas and is a very important industry in three regions (Pomerania, Western Pomerania and Varmia-Masuria), especially in the area of Kashubia. Catches have plummeted since 1988 (628 026 t) to 179 309 t in 2008. Almost 90% of catches in the Northeast Atlantic are from the Baltic, with the remainder from the Atlantic Ocean. Catches are chiefly of sprat. Secondary species are herring, cod and sole and flat fish. There are also catches of krill in the Antarctic, but they are in continual decline compared to the levels of the second half of the 1990s. Over the last 20 years the Polish fishing fleet has undergone intense structural adjustment. In the wake of the crisis caused by restrictions on access to fishing grounds, the Polish fleet suffered in the fall-out from the process of the country’s economic transformation. Moreover, prior to accession to the European Union, further fleet reduction was implemented. The problems were, however, far from being resolved, as was illustrated by the issues arising from the overshoot of the cod quota in 2007. That situation, which stemmed from a lack of profitability among some segments of the fleet, paved the way for a number of national action programmes in which fleet management had a key role. The Portuguese fishing fleet comprises mainly small, ageing vessels. In December 2010 there were 794 vessels in the Polish fishing fleet. Of these, 598 (75% of the fleet) were less than 12 m in length. More than half the fleet is obsolete in technical terms and has difficulty making a profit against a background of scarce resources and expensive fuel. Only 1% of vessels in the EU-27 fishing fleet are registered in Poland, and the Polish fleet accounts only for 6% of the tonnage in gross tonnes and 6% of total power. The Polish fishing fleet is generally regarded as being divided into three main sectors: coastal fishing, the activity conducted by 643 vessels between 3 m and 16 m in length within the limits of territorial waters in the Vistula and Szczecin lagoons; the 161 vessels between 16 m and 32 m long inclusive, which fish in the Baltic and to a lesser extent in the Northeast Atlantic; and high-seas fishing conducted in distant fishing-grounds on the high seas by four vessels longer than 32 m. The most used types of main gear are set or anchored gillnets (62% of vessels), pots (15%) and bottom trawls (14%). Gillnets and pots are typical of small-scale coastal fishing, whereas bottom trawls are used more by the fleet of medium-sized vessels fishing in the Baltic. Although only 4% of vessels use pelagic trawls, they account for 63% of total tonnage and 29% of power. 7 Policy Department B: Structural and Cohesion Policies The larger vessels are registered at the ports in the region of Gdańsk-Gdynia-Sopot. Although only 6% of all vessels in the Polish fleet are registered there, they account for 60% of the fleet’s total tonnage and 26% of total power. At the other end of the scale are the regions of Elblaski and Szczecinski. The combined figures for these two regions show that 28% of all vessels in the Polish fleet are registered there, yet they account for only 5% of total tonnage and 13% of power. These two regions are the location of the bulk of the segment of the fleet involved in small-scale coastal fishing in the Szczecin and Masuria lagoons and have few or no vessels in the Baltic fleet. The segment of the fleet which could be regarded as most representative of the Baltic fishery is, however, based at the ports of Gdańsk, Slupski and Koszalinski. Some 66% of all vessels in the Polish fleet operate from these three regions, accounting for 35% of total tonnage and 61% of power. There are 59 landing points on the Polish Baltic Sea coast, including fishing ports and other places regarded as fishing ports. The three main fishing ports are Władysławowo, Kołobrzeg and Hel, where 75% of all landings are made. Approximately half the landing points are on beaches and have few facilities. There are ten larger fishing ports for larger vessels, especially those longer than 16 m. • On the west coast: Świnoujście, Dziwnów; • On the central coast: Kołobrzeg, Darłowo, Ustka, Leba; • On the east coast: Władysławowo, Jastarnia, Hel, Gdynia.

Sewage treatment around the lagoon has been very much improved during the last years, but large amounts of sewage still enter the Oder river. Human path- ogenic viruses generally can be expected in all surface waters that are affected by municipal sewage. There is an increasing awareness that predisposed persons can be infected by a few infective units or even a single active virus. Another new aspect is, that at least polioviruses attached to suspend- ed particles can be infective for weeks and therefore be transported over long distances. Therefore, the highest risk of virus inputs arise from the large amounts of untreated sewage of the city of Szcze- cin (Poland), which are released into the river Oder and transported to the lagoon and the Baltic Sea. Summer tourism is the most important economical factor in this coastal region and further growth is expected.

A b stra ct The composition and frequency of phytobenthic organisms along the Polish Baltic coast was analysed. During 5 years of observations, Chlorophyta were found to be dominant, and the brown alga Pilayella litoralis was expanding rapidly in highly eutrophic areas. Absent at the start of observations, Fucus vesiculosus appeared in some areas in 1990. 1. Introduction Our knowledge of the vegetation on the Polish coast of the Baltic Sea is generally insufficient and only a few aspects have been worked out satisfac­ torily. The phytoplankton is one of them, as a result of many years’ research at the Marine Fisheries Institute in Gdynia. In addition, the University of Gdansk has recently contributed to this task, although its work has been confined to the Gulf of Gdansk. Finally, the Gdańsk Branch of the Environ­ mental Protection Institute has been monitoring the Polish economic zone of the Baltic. Our knowledge of the phytobenthos is much poorer. Much of the lit­ tle work that has been done was incidental to studies of agar-agar stocks.

    Lake Profile Brief This is based on the results of Multiple Lake Threat Assessment and its Scenario Analysis. Refer to the Technical Report for details. Szczecin Lagoon Geographic Information The Szczecin Lagoon is an inland water basin, a lagoon of the Oder River, in the southwestern part of the Baltic Sea, and exhibits the characteristics of a coastal lake. It empties into a bay of the Baltic Sea via three straits that divide the mainland and several islands. The major freshwater inflow is the Oder River. A channel was opened more than a century ago to connect the lagoon with the Baltic Sea for ship passage. The lagoon has been an important fishing grounds for centuries, and has become a tourist destination as well since the 20th Century, offering passenger ship tours, various water sports and some noteworthy beaches. It is currently being threated from pollution from the Oder River, including increased eutrophication.

  • The Archaeology of the Prussian Crusade

    The Archaeology of the Prussian Crusade

    Downloaded by [University of Wisconsin - Madison] at 05:00 18 January 2017 THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE PRUSSIAN CRUSADE The Archaeology of the Prussian Crusade explores the archaeology and material culture of the Crusade against the Prussian tribes in the thirteenth century, and the subsequent society created by the Teutonic Order that lasted into the six- teenth century. It provides the first synthesis of the material culture of a unique crusading society created in the south-eastern Baltic region over the course of the thirteenth century. It encompasses the full range of archaeological data, from standing buildings through to artefacts and ecofacts, integrated with writ- ten and artistic sources. The work is sub-divided into broadly chronological themes, beginning with a historical outline, exploring the settlements, castles, towns and landscapes of the Teutonic Order’s theocratic state and concluding with the role of the reconstructed and ruined monuments of medieval Prussia in the modern world in the context of modern Polish culture. This is the first work on the archaeology of medieval Prussia in any lan- guage, and is intended as a comprehensive introduction to a period and area of growing interest. This book represents an important contribution to promot- ing international awareness of the cultural heritage of the Baltic region, which has been rapidly increasing over the last few decades.

The paper is a contribution to ecology and chorology ofAconitum in high-mountain zone of the Ukrainian Carpathians. It was confirmed that genusAconitum in the Chornogora mountain range is represented by 14 taxa, and 7 more taxa were listed as potential for this region. These taxa belong to 3 subgenera and are divided on 4 main biomorphological groups delimited on the base of their habitat, life form, ecology and altitudinal distribution. The soil and vegetation types for all taxa have been identified and the maps of their distribution have been prepared. The most influent threats and their categories were identified.

Non-indigenous species that have appeared in the Szczecin Lagoon (i.a. Dreissena polymorpha, Potamopvrgus antipodarum, Corophium curvispinum) and in the Pomeranian Bay (Cordylophora caspia, Mya arenaria, Balanus improvisus, Acartia tonsa) in historical time and which now are dominant components of animal communities there as well as other and less abundant (or less common) alien species in the estuary (e.g. Branchiura sowerbyi, Eriocheir sinensis, Orconectes limosus) are presented. In addition, other newcomers - Marenzelleria viridis, Gammarus tigrinus, and Pontogammarus robustoides - found in the estuary in the recent ten years are described. The significance of the sea and inland water transport in the region for introduction of non-indigenous species is discussed against the background of the distribution pattern of these recently introduced polychaete and gammarid species. Keywords: Alien Species, Marenzelleria viridis, Gammarus tigrinus, Pontogammarus robustoides, River Odra Estuary Zusammenfassung: Das Oderästuar gehört zu den Bereichen der Ostsee, die am meisten der Einwanderung von Alienspezies ausgesetzt sind.
