“…Results of earlier studies (Szopowski 1962;Szmidt 1967;Drwal 1968;Łomniewski et al 1972;Cyberski, Mikulski 1976;Cyberski, Jędrasik 1992;Buchholz 1999;Cieśliński 2000;Cieśliński and Drwal 2005) reveal that only chloride ion is appropriate as an indicator of the impact of seawater on inland waters in such studies. This ion does not participate in oxidation-reduction reactions and is nearly non-reactive in absorptionexchange processes, due to which it is one of the best indicator seawater migration (Burchard et al 1990).…”

In particular branches of the Earth sciences the term estuary is used with various meanings. The term estuary is applied to objects that often differ from the original geographic meaning of the word. The phenomena that accompany them and processes that cause them are called also estuary phenomena and processes. The aim of the study is to describe, in a geographic context, the range in meaning of both the term and names of phenomena and processes derived from it. In the years 2002 -2005, a survey of the distribution of chloride concentrations was conducted on five lakes characteristic of the southern Baltic coast: Jamno, Bukowo, Wicko, Kopań and Łebsko. It was observed that seawater intrusions into the coastal lakes only resembles those that occur in classic estuaries, though the results are similar to seawater intrusion processes. In the Polish section of the southern Baltic coast, coastal lakes are not the only places where these phenomena are observed. We suggest that all inland water bodies that are under the influence of marine intrusions should be called coastal waters, instead of the misleading term estuary.

“…River mouths are points of pollution intrusion into the sea, and saltwater invasion into the coastal plains and their aquifers. Their dynamic morphology can impact communities, physical structures and ecosystems (Ranasinghe et al, 1999;Roy et al, 2001;Cieslinski and Drwal, 2005;Perillo et al, 2005;Winn et al, 2006;Azevedo et al, 2008). Thus, the study of the river mouths morphology is critical to the management of coastal resources, engineering projects and zoning of nature reserves.…”

“…This results in both large-and small-scale flooding (Hall, Andersen 2002;Pizarro et al 2007), and increases the salinity of freshwater bodies and wetlands (Cieśliński, Drwal 2005;Drwal, Cieśliński 2007). Given their sporadic nature, major intrusions must be treated as extreme events; these, too, are characteristic of the southern Baltic shore (van den Brink et al 2005).…”

“…Storms at sea as well as low freshwater levels on land cause periodic intrusions of brackish water into freshwater bodies (Jasińska 1997;Pitkänen 2001;Cieśliński, Drwal 2005;Drwal, Cieśliński 2007;Gamo et al 2007;Tarkhov, Treivish 2007).…”

The Vistula Lagoon -one of the main recipients of the central and eastern parts of the Vistula delta -is not homogeneous in terms of its hydrodynamics and hydrochemistry. In the southern part a separate hydrographic object -the Gulf of Elbląg -can be delimited. This delimitation is due to different morphometric and hydrometeorological conditions that prevail in this part of the Vistula Lagoon. In order to determine the nature of the waters, measurements of the selected physico-chemical properties, including chlorides, as well as control hydrological measurements were performed in the years 1997-2007. The study area included the water of the Gulf of Elbląg, the estuary stretch of the Elbląg River, the watercourses flowing from the Elbląg Plateau and the polder areas surrounding the Gulf of Elbląg. One measurement point was located on the Vistula Lagoon. The chloride values in the Gulf of Elbląg ranged from 20 to 2015 mg·dm -3 . The results may indicate that the Gulf of Elbląg is a reservoir under the hydrodynamic and hydrochemical influence of both the Vistula Lagoon and the watercourses in its mouth, as well as the Vistula delta and the Elbląg Plateau. They dictate the seasonal nature of the waters of the Gulf of Elbląg.
