Fig. 10.1 A scheme of bathymetric data acquisition for the area of study (location and number of
navigation charts used are shown)
which now forms the Sambian Peninsula in the southern part of the area (Fig. 10.1 ) ,
features Palaeogene-Neogene, sandy-clayey sediments preserved from glacial
washout. North of the Sambian Peninsula lies the extensive Curonian-Sambian
Plateau, overlain by a thin cover of Quaternary (moraine) formations.
The coastal area constitutes an inclined surface of erosion-accumulation plain
developed in the moraine and, in some places, in the bedrock; it extends offshore
to the depths of 30-35 m. The Gdansk Deep (a cup-shaped depression with depths
of up to 115 m) is an accumulation plain covered by unconsolidated late- and post-
glacial silts and clays (up to 15-20 m thick). Its slope forms an inclined surface, at
