The Gdynia cliff is retreating by 1 meter per year. Drilling is expected to help identify the problem

Geological research is being conducted on the Gdynia cliff, focusing on three boreholes to assess soil stability and erosion risks. The studies, commissioned by the Maritime Office in Gdynia, involve dry core drilling to prevent fluid contamination. Samples will be analyzed to understand sediment layers and their properties. The cliff is eroding at a rate of about one meter per year, raising concerns about safety and natural processes. The findings will aid in identifying landslide risks and planning coastal protection measures while preserving the nature reserve.
