The CuronianLagoon, also known as the Kurschiu Gulf or the Kurschiu Marios Lagoon, lies along the Baltic coast of Lithuania and the Kaliningrad oblast (province) of Russia.
While the atmospheric load to the CuronianLagoon is relatively small compared to riverine load of total N, it is a significant term in the budget of inorganic forms of nitrogen (which are more readily available as a nutrient to Lagoon plant life, and are therefore a factor in its trophic status).
Regardless of which estimates are used, it is clear that both the riverine loads of nitrogen and phosphorus to the Lagoon and from the Lagoon to the Baltic are decreasing as waste treatment improves and agricultural fertilizer loads decrease (figure 6).
Lovely are the shores of the lagoon and the lagoon itself, inviting you to fish, row or sail in the old sailing boats bearing the emblems of the lagoon fishermen.
In Smiltyne, the sea, the lagoon, the beach and the dunes are the same as on the entire spit; the same belt of woods stretches from Kopgalis to Nida.
On the shore of the lagoon, near the Maritime Museum, is the open-air Fishermen's Museum.
