Practical recommendations on the organization of the ecological monitoring system of the Sivash Bay are proposed taking into account the goals and objectives of the unified system of state environmental monitoring of the Russian Federation. A new scientifically proved scheme for the location of observation points in the water area, including the wetlands of international importance "East Sivash", is presented.
