Station maritime de l'institut océanographique de l'université de Gdańsk

The marine station of the University of Gdańsk in Hel is a research center with modern laboratories and equipment for studying the sea. Scientists here analyze water samples, examine marine organisms, and collect data about the Baltic Sea and its ecosystems.

The station was founded in 1992 and grew into an important research center for studying the Polish coast and the Baltic Sea. Since then it has helped scientists understand how the sea and its marine life have changed over time.

The station brings together scientists from around the world to work on Baltic Sea research and share findings about marine life. Visitors can see how international collaboration and local knowledge work together to protect the sea and its ecosystems.

The location is in Hel, a small coastal town on a peninsula, and is relatively easy to find if you follow local signs toward the harbor. Before visiting, check if the facility is open to visitors since it primarily operates as a working research center.

The station gathers extensive data about the Baltic Sea that is shared with marine researchers around the world. This information helps scientists everywhere understand changes in the sea and make better decisions about protecting the ocean.
