Abstract

Long-term observations for oil pollution of bottom sediments of Sevastopol Bay allowed to create the unique anthropogenic history of the region. Large volume of accumulated data allows to characterize dynamics of changes in the pollution status of the Bay at various temporal and spatial scales and to reveal the most vulnerable areas as a consequence of ever-growing economic development. The present study offers the results of comparative analysis of physical-chemical characteristics and distribution patterns of oil hydrocarbons in bottom sediments upper layer (0–5 sm) of the Sevastopol Bay on the data of environmental surveys of 2000 and 2009.
