The aim of the study was to analyze the diatom taphocoenoses preserved in the Holocene sediments of the southwestern Gulf of Gdańsk (southern Baltic Sea). Three sediment cores collected at sites located between the tip of the Hel Peninsula and Gdynia were used to reconstruct environmental changes that have occurred over the last 9 ka. The floristic spectrum and the distribution of ecological groups indicate that the diatom flora developed during four Baltic Sea paleoecological stages; thus, the Ancylus Lake, Mastogloia Sea, Littorina Sea, and Post-Littorina Sea stages are discussed. The anthropogenic assemblage in the superficial sediments of the study area is also described.
