Abstract
Analyzing the database of the Marine Hydrophysical Institute for 70 years on the seasonal variability of the thermohaline regime of the Karkinitsky Bay, as well as modern expedition data, despite the limited number of stations, the correspondence of observed modern seasonal variability to conditions of its formation according to long-term data is shown.
The environmental impact of nature management in the Karkinitsky Bay is estimated by comparing the levels of pollutant intake from the northern and southern coasts of the Bay, for which the levels of contamination with pesticides and chlorine organic compounds in water and bottom sediments are estimated. Modern environmental problems associated with the change in the nature management in the southern coast of the Bay are considered in connection with the termination of the Dnieper water to the Crimean Peninsula. Possible dynamic situations of pollutants transport from the Karkinitsky Bay and ways of their further distribution in the Black Sea are analyzed.
