Gdańsk Bay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (169 words)
The western part of Gdańsk Bay is formed by the shallow waters of the Bay of Puck and the southeastern part is the Vistula Lagoon, separated by the Vistula Spit and connected to the open sea by the Strait of Baltiysk.
The Bay of Gdańsk receives the waters of the River Vistula directly via three branches -- the Leniwka, the Śmiała Wisła, and the Martwa Wisła -- and indirectly via the Vistula Lagoon with 2 branches: the Nogat and the Szkarpawa.
The first forms the Bay of Puck while the latter defines the Vistula Lagoon, accessed through the Strait of Baltiysk.
