The meeting designated to the possibility to create Exposition of Boulders was organized

 

 

For years the Port Authority has been executing dredging works in port waters in Curonian Lagoon and entrance channel. During these works lots of boulders with diameter from 0,8 metres to 2 metres have been removed from the sea bed. Presently these boulders are numerated and stored on Smiltynė Coast.

 

Removed boulders are not just plain stones of Lithuania. Due to thousands of years spent on the Port sea bed the boulders had not experienced atmosphere, flora or human activity impact. Part of the boulders might be affected by water. Therefore the boulders removed from the Lagoon bottom may carry a scientific – cognitive value, besides, they may be interesting in emotional – psychological aspect as well. They are not field boulders, but boulders witnessing the development and history of the Port.

 

These boulders are to be accessible to society in the form of exposition and should be exposed within the territory owned by Klaipėda Municipality. Klaipėda Port is geographically located namely in the town, therefore transportation of the boulders to other municipality should be a harm to Klaipėda town.
