The planned gas pipeline through the Curonian lagoon and the Baltic Sea is being debated in Lithuania.<br><br>The project of the gas pipeline to be built through the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany is a long-standing idea that has been repeatedly discussed and reviewed, but this time it is being carried out by Germany. The idea of this pipeline is not new, and there have been similar projects in the past. For example, the Nord Stream project, which aimed to connect Germany and Russia with a pipeline under the Baltic Sea, has also faced opposition. However, the current planned gas pipeline has raised concerns among environmentalists and some politicians in Lithuania.<br><br>The construction of the pipeline is said to be part of the Baltic Sea's "forced development" project, which aims to create a canal from the Curonian Lagoon to the Baltic Sea.

The project has also been criticized by environmental groups, who claim that it could have harmful effects on the marine ecosystem.<br><br>The reaction to the project has been mixed, as some people see it as a potential threat to Lithuania's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
