Abstract
Submarine Groundwater Discharge (SGD) is a worldwide phenomenon. In this book SGD defined as fresh groundwater flux to the Bay of Puck, Baltic Sea has been described. SGD, defined as fresh groundwater flux to the coastal zone, is part of a wider understanding assuming any flux of water from sediments to the overlying seawater to be a submarine groundwater discharge. The advantage of the approach taken in this study is that load of chemical substances (also heat, freshwater etc.) via SGD can be established in order to compare to loads originated from other sources and budgets studies.
