Vistula Lagoon, Brackish water bay between Poland and Russia.
The Vistula Lagoon extends 90 kilometers along the Baltic coast with varying widths between 10 to 19 kilometers and an average depth of 2.7 meters.
Prior to 2022, vessels could only access the Baltic Sea through the Strait of Baltiysk in the Russian section, leading Poland to construct a new canal for independent access.
The lagoon borders multiple settlements including Elbląg and Frombork in Poland, plus Kaliningrad and Baltiysk in Russia, connecting communities across national boundaries.
The water body functions as a crucial spawning area for Baltic herring and provides essential habitats for numerous bird species under Natura 2000 protection.
The eastern distributary of the Vistula River delta, the Nogat River, flows into this lagoon, contributing to its distinct mixture of fresh and salt water.
