AbstractThe paper is based on the hypothesis that coastal lakes significantly affect changes in the quality of freshwater coming from catchments, which is best reflected in the reduction of biogenic loads. Some of the main reasons for this phenomenon include unique geographic locations of coastal lakes and physical and chemical properties of their waters as well as other hydrographic determinants that affect water circulation in catchments. The study area covered the direct drainage basin of Lake Lebsko, which is located in Słowiński National Park in northern Poland, on the coast of the southern Baltic Sea. The study was conducted from June 2008 to October 2010. Fieldwork was the main part of the research project and included hydrographic mapping, water sampling for laboratory analysis, and measurement of the discharge in all tributaries and outflows of the studied lake. Water chemistry data for Lake Lebsko indicate a significant accumulation of biogenic materials in the lake, which proves a strong effect exerted by the lake on the incoming water. This is true for both total chemical loads per year as well as concentrations of selected ions over short time intervals. This standard pattern may be interrupted by seawater intrusions that alter water chemistry in the whole lake.

Limnological Survey

Eleven lakes were examined in varying degrees of intensity. For the largest two, Lakes Elusive and Barracoota, information is presented on physiography, major physical and chemical features, macrophytes, zooplankton, littoral invertebrates, benthos, and fish. Limited data, mainly on water chemistry and zooplankton, are given for the remaining lakes. The lakes are divisible into three groups. The four floodplain lagoons contain alkaline water dominated by sodium and bicarbonate ions. Zooplankton in each consists of Boeckella minuta, Thermocyclops hyalinus, and Daphnia lumholtzi, as well as a variety of other entomostracans. The coastal dune lakes have acid water dominated by sodium and chloride ions and a restricted zooplankton of one to three species, including Calarnoecia tasmanica. Compared with coastal dune lakes of southern Queensland, these are heterogenous in mode of origin, water chemistry, and zooplankton. Despite some similarities with dune lakes, Lake Barracoota is basically different. Its physiography suggests a recent marine origin which is confirmed by the presence of two isopods and a polychaete with marine affinities.
