Evening on the Lagoon
The Vistula Lagoon is a shallow body of water with an average depth of about 2 meters. To enable navigation for large-draft vessels, it is necessary to dredge the shipping channel. Dredging of the shipping channel on the Vistula Lagoon is a continuous process. This is because the Lagoon is fed by the waters of the Vistula River, which have a large amount of suspended sediment. This sediment settles on the bottom of the shipping channel, causing it to silt up. Dredging of the shipping channel on the Vistula Lagoon is carried out using specialized technical units, such as bottom diggers, dredging cranes, and dredging barges.
