General information:
Kąty Rybackie is a village with a small fishing harbour, about
3.5 miles north-west of Gdańsk Light-beacon, in which there are
depths of between 1 and 1.5m. In 1680 a wealthy English merchant
William Ramsey of Buckingham put up a mansion - house here. In 1780,
an inn was built. Originally Kąty Rybackie was part of Sztutowo
and from 1808 became an independent commune. Now the village is
a seaside resort and holiday makers visit a nice sandy beach 2km
long. There are two fishing harbours at Kąty Rybackie. The beach
harbour, 100 m long is from the side of Gulf of Gdańsk. The east
side of the beach harbour is connected by road with the village.
A small fishing port with quayage is situated from the side of
Vistula Lagoon. There is a slip for fishing boats and small hull
and machinery repairs can be carried out. The boats from the
beach harbour have been transported by lorry to the port of
the side of Vistula Lagoon, for fishing during the season.
The total catch of freshwater fishes in the Vistula Lagoon
(area of the Polish part of the Lagoon 328 km2, the mean
depth 4m), equalled 320t (1955). The bulk of the catch was eel,
roach, bream, pikeperch and perch. Fishing was performed by
around 250 fishermen, whose main fishing gear were fyke-nets
and gill-nets. The most exploited fishing grounds were situated in
the eastern area of the Vistula Lagoon. Kąty Rybackie services
tourist traffic. 2,111 passengers took trips on board ships of
the "white fleet" in 1996. It should be stressed that ship traffic
in the Vistula Lagoon is seasonal. The season of passenger ship
traffic lasts from May 1st to October 5th, every year. |
