Abstract

On the data of three conducted experiments realized on the base of IBSS (Institute of biology of southern seas of the National Academy of Science of Ukraine) and MHI (Marine hydrophysical institute of the National Academy of Science of Ukraine) in August 2005, in August 2007 and in July 2008 the features of hydrophysical conditions at ornithological reserve the Swan islands (coastal waters of the Karkinitsky gulf, the Black sea) were considered. Estimations of the studied water areas’ pollution by the CDOM of an anthropogenic nature and dissolved oil were made for the first time. Concentrations, sources and propagation paths of total suspended matter (TSM) and pollutants were determined.
