PLN 15 million allocated for beach nourishment along Poland’s Baltic coast
The Maritime Office in Szczecin plans to allocate approximately PLN 15 million in 2026 for artificial beach nourishment along the Polish Baltic coast, covering the locations of Pogorzelica, Międzywodzie and Pustkowo. The project forms part of Poland’s ongoing coastal protection programme aimed at mitigating shoreline erosion and reducing the impact of storm surges and sea level rise.

Artificial nourishment involves dredging suitable sand from designated offshore areas and placing it on beaches through hydraulic pumping, effectively widening and strengthening the coastal zone and dune systems. The method remains a cornerstone of Poland’s coastal defence policy and is routinely implemented by maritime authorities.
The planned 2026 works align with a long-term coastal management strategy, combining nourishment projects with hydrotechnical structures and continuous monitoring. For local coastal communities, the programme enhances flood protection, while safeguarding tourism infrastructure and regional economic assets.
