	Curonian Lagoon Budget
		The Curonian Lagoon, 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 Curonian Lagoon 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).

	Neringa municipality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Neringa municipality (Lithuanian: Neringos savivaldybė) is a municipality in westernmost Lithuania, in the Curonian Spit.

		Neringa is separated from the mainland Lithuania by Curonian Lagoon which, while there is no bridge, it is still accessible from the mainland by ferry only.

	Sustainable Tourism - Case studies - Curonian lagoon, Lithuania
		The non-tidal Curonian lagoon is a shallow semi-locked and almost fresh-water body which is located on the southeastern rim of the Baltic Sea.
		The Curonian spit is by far the most suitable area for tourism development in the region, but its status as a national park appears to ensure a strong legal protection against large-scale developments outside the areas already developed.
		Efforts should be made to endorse tourism development in the Curonian lagoon region towards a sustainable use of local natural resources and maintenance of cultural heritage, facilitation of site-specific development of small-scale leisure facilities according to local peculiarities and carrying capacity of landscapes and ecosystems.

		4.1.3 Curonian lagoon The Curonian lagoon is a large shallow transitory freshwater body, situated in the southeastern Baltic Sea and separated from the sea by the Curonian Spit.
		The southern and central portions of the lagoon are fresh water due to discharge from the Nemunas River and other smaller rivers, maintaining a predominant flow from the south to the north.
		In 1983 the Curonian spit was broken in its narrowest part near the town of Lesnoje (Russia), due to a strong storm and an extreme Baltic Sea level rise.

		The Curonian lagoon (also known as Kursiu marios, Kurshskij zaliv, Kurische Haff) is a large (length 95 km, width up to 48 km) shallow (mean depth of 3.8 m, the maximum 5.8 m) coastal water body in the south-eastern part of the Baltic Sea.
		The narrow northern part of the Lagoon, subject to episodic stormy inflows of the seawater is oligohaline, with irregular salinity fluctuations from 0.5 to 7.5 PSU and distinct gradient in mean salinity from the outlet towards the inner parts of the water body.
		In general, the Curonian Lagoon is inhabited by freshwater flora and fauna, while euryhaline brackish water species occur in its northern part only, approximately within 40 km from the sea gate (Olenin and Leppakoski 1999).

	Dr. Peleikis, Anja - Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology
		Taking the example of the Curonian Lagoon region, a borderland area politically divided between Lithuania and Kaliningrad Oblast (an enclave of the Russian Federation), the project examines recent political, socio-economic and legal transitions in the context of broader historical changes in the southeastern Baltic (see map).
		Apart from the interwar period (1919-1939), when the northern part belonged to Lithuania and the southern part to Germany, the Curonian Lagoon area was integrated into a single political entity: it belonged until the end of World War I to the eastern province of Prussia and Germany.
		Given the changing political affiliations of the Curonian Lagoon region within the last hundred years, the study expects various constellations of overlapping and intertwined articulations of diverse legal orders at different times in history.
