Gullmarn, Marine nature preservation area in Lysekil Municipality, Sweden.
The Gullmar fjord extends 25 kilometers in length with depths varying between 40 meters at its mouth and 120 meters within its waters.
The fjord area supported extensive herring fishing operations from 1556 to 1589, contributing to significant exports of salted herring from the region.
Multiple research centers, including Kristineberg Center and the Biological Station Klubban, conduct marine studies in the fjord's distinct environmental conditions.
The waters contain various marine species suitable for scientific research, from small organisms like krill to larger creatures such as king crabs.
Gullmar stands as Sweden's only threshold fjord, creating specific conditions that support marine life typically found in offshore environments.
