Abstract
The aim of environmental monitoring of the port of Bourgas is to deliver reliable data for pollution assessment of the port water body and to support the development of a program for environmental risk management. The present study attempts to assess the quality of the Bourgas port waters summarizing the water monitoring data and calculating the integrated trophic state index (TRIX).
