JuteVilla
The original idea of creating a preserve here came out in 1946, at a conference in Łeba with scientists from Poznań and Gdańsk. The park however was created 21 years later, in 1967, on an area of 180.69 km (69.76 sq mi). Today it is slightly larger, covering 186.18 km (71.88 sq mi), of which 102.13 km (39.43 sq mi) consists of waters and 45.99 km (17.76 sq mi) of forests. The strictly preserved zone covers 56.19 km (21.70 sq mi). In 1977 UNESCO designated the park a biosphere reserve under its Programme on Man and the Biosphere (MaB). The
