The Kurgalsky Nature Complex Reserve is located in the Kingisepp District of the Leningrad Region, 45 km northwest of Kingisepp. The territory of the reserve includes the Kurgalsky peninsula, as well as the adjacent waters of the Gulf of Finland. The Kader swamp massif is located in the south of the Kurgalsky Peninsula. The state of the autochthonous vegetation cover of the Kader swamp was considered in connection with the laying of the main gas pipeline under «the Nord Stream–2» project. The revealed high diversity of desmids (48 species), as well as their abundance, the frequency of occurrence and the presence of species rare in other habitats of the Leningrad region, indicates the inviolability of the freshwater algae flora, favorable environmental conditions in water bodies and the absence of anthropogenic transformation of the studied territory.

Significance The unilateral move is raising concerns in Europe that EU energy companies could be sanctioned and that transatlantic unity on sanctions could be jeopardised. Impacts The bill could cause a further deterioration in US-Russian ties and weaken Trump’s ability to improve relations with Moscow. Less EU-US coordination on sanctions could bring internal EU divisions to the fore. Apart from Nord Stream 2, the sanctions could also affect the Blue Stream pipeline and a liquified natural gas plant in the Gulf of Finland.

The Gulf Of Finland

The Gulf of Finland has during the last centuries been loaded with heavy metals of anthropogenic origin. Work with mapping of the chemistry of the sediments have been done in all surrounding countries during several decades, first in the Soviet Union and later in Russia and similarly in Finland. More recent sediment chemistry data from the last two decades was in this study combined into sediment chemistry maps added with some data from the commercial Nord Stream project. The result shows that zinc, copper and chromium are enriched in the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland, while mercury, cadmium and lead are showing the highest concentrations in the north- eastern part of the gulf.

This project defines the pre-industrial quantities of heavy metals in sediment sequences of the Late Holocene from the Eastern Gulf of Finland. A comparative analysis reveals differences and similarities in the current concentrations of heavy metals in bottom sediments and pre-industrial levels. It is found that the maximum concentrations of heavy metals in the bottom sediments of the Gulf of Finland and Neva Bay occurred in the period of 1950-1990. Since the 1990s, the trend has been a slow decline in the contamination levels; however, the concentrations of some heavy metals in bottom sediments remain high.

A model of an artificial beach is suggested for protection of coasts under erosion due to intense storm surges. It is shown that the coarser beach sand results in decrease of the beach width and growth of nourishment volume. At the same time relative material loss due to long-shore sediment transport diminishes too. The model has been applied to three sections of the coasts of Kurortny district of S.-Petersburg (eastern part of the Gulf of Finland). It recommends medium sand for the beaches construction. Modeling of extreme storms effect shows only minor deformations for designed beach profiles. For the beaches more than 1 km long even in 30-50 years more than a half of the initial beach volume conserves without additional nourishment.
