As a response to the increasing importance of the investigation of marginal seas the Institute of Marine and Environmental Sciences, University of Szczecin, has started first in the Winter Semester 2021/2022 monthly an online Marginal Seas Seminar (webinar). Internationally acknowledged scientists have been invited to present lectures and discussions of modern marginal seas research results.
