Dr. Halina Kendzierska is a Tutor at the University of Gdańsk, affiliated with the Faculty of Oceanography and Geography and the Department of Experimental Ecology of Marine Organisms. She is a marine biologist specializing in benthic communities, focusing on seafloor invertebrates, non-native species impacts, and oxygen deprivation effects.

• Invasive species dynamics in Baltic ecosystems
• Benthic community responses to environmental stressors
• Coastal nutrient cycling and ecosystem services
• Marine environmental education initiatives

Her recent publications examine:

• Seasonal benthic dynamics in seagrass habitats
• Environmental impacts of offshore wind farms
• Functional diversity under hypoxic conditions
• Nutrient fluxes in Vistula River plume areas
• Invasive species establishment in Baltic ecosystems

She actively mentors students in marine research, particularly macrozoobenthos studies and environmental impact analyses.
