The total area of the Kerch Strait is about sq km, while the total water volume is 4. An extended biological programme covered determination of pigments concentration, abundance and biomass of phytoplankton, zooplankton, meiobenthos, phytobenthos, macrozoobenthos and some microbiological parameters. Energy generated by high waves in the course of the upward fluctuations is well known to be crucial for erosion of the Kerch Strait accumulative formations Eremeev V.

While trying to take-off from the high bed after the storm, those boats could have discharged their ballast waters containing diesel oil jointly with the fuel from their bunkers. This inflow of ammonia into the Kerch Strait and further to the Black Sea was calculated for the whole observation period. The Strait part to the South is affected by the Black Sea level changes. There, a cliff shifted m inland, a former wave-breaker remnants were washed away and the waves went by m inside the lowlands.

The first chapter describes the general characteristics of the marine ports at the northern coast of the Black and Azov Seas and their shipping channels. The shore section of 22 km long from the Yantarny village up to the Panagia Cape is of abrasion nature. The editors and their colleagues spent many months in order to produce a well compiled text and high quality figures and photos. Analysis of pollution dynamics in the Kerch Strait and its adjacent sea space for the two years that have passed since the time of the accident water, bottom sediment and biota in November - December is presented. A thermal depression builds-up over the Black Sea underlying warm surface during the transient and cold seasons of the year. It lies entirely on the continent, entering the Taganrog Bay through the Yeysk and Glafirovsk Spits, and is the mouth of the Yeya River. After leaving the Tuzla gully, the Black Sea waters fill in the central part of the Strait. The arrows are the waves movement directions. Strong winds are observed through the whole year during all the seasons. On 28 Novemberthe maximum of 0.

In addition, the dyke unfinished construction presents an obstacle for the Black Sea flows and triggers Southern development of reverse flows along the Taman coastline under the Southern winds impact, as well as a local anti-cyclonic gyre build-up in the strait Southern part from the Black Sea side of the dyke. Seasonally high oxygen concentrations were observed during winters and they were decreasing closer to summer as examples of the — and — periods demonstrate Fig. Storms of a magnitude similar to the Kerch accident may happen in the North-Eastern part of the Black Sea every years Buhanovskiy A. A similar storm brought by a Southern cyclone, though accompanied by a smaller decrease in the atmospheric pressure, occurred on November Thus, the four m high waves brought by the impact of the Southern winds, as it was recorded by the Caucasus port in Novemberhad not been observed on the Strait during almost 50 years of observations. Another major military campaign on the Sea of Azov took place during the Crimean War of — Dolphins, porpoises and whales of the world: the IUCN red data book. Each chapter has been developed and then more than ten times redrafted with the participation of dozens of experts from different organizations. The Azov is the world's shallowest sea, with depths ranging from 0. One of the reasons could be the light fraction washing out from the bottom sediments. It became both necessary and apparent to determine as soon as possible potential ways of spreading of the oil and sulfur discharged into the sea, as well as the actual and potential impact of these hazardous substances on the ecosystem conditions in the region of the Strait and adjacent water space both at the time straight after the accident, and for a longer-term period. Standard hydrophysical measurements by CTD including permanent registration of temperature and salinity of surface watersSecci disk depth, direction and velocity of currents by ADCP were conducted.

  • Ukrainian and Russian Waterways and the Development of European Transport Corridors
    European Transport \ Trasporti Europei n. 30 (2005): 14-36 Ukrainian and Russian waterways and the development of European transport corridors Michael Doubrovsky1∗ 1Odessa National Maritime University, Odessa, Ukraine Abstract Four of the nine international transport corridors pass through the territory of Ukraine: №3, №5, №7, and №9. In recent years Ukraine conducted an active policy supporting the European initiatives on the international transport corridors and offered variants of corridors to the European community. In the field of a water transport it is planned to carry out the construction of new and reconstruction of existing infrastructure (regarding corridors № 9; TRACECA; Baltic - Black Sea) in the main Ukrainian ports. The paper considers the situation in the Ukrainian waterways as a part of the international transport corridors. It presents an analysis of the existing situation and some planning measures. In order to optimize and rationally development the inland waterways and seaports of the Black Sea – Azov Sea region it is necessary to speed up the working out and official approval of the regional transport ways network. Regarding Ukrainian seaports this task is carried out within the framework of program TRACECA, and also by Steering Committee of Black Sea PETRA and working group on transport of the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation. To connect the new members countries of EU two approaches are considered: (1) the use of the Danube River due to restoration of navigation in its Ukrainian part, providing an exit to the Black Sea; (2) the creation of new inland water-transport links providing a more rational and uniform distribution of freight traffics from the Central and Northern Europe (using the third largest river in Europe - Dnepr River running into the Black Sea).

In addition, tidal movements are highly developed in the White sea, while in the Azov sea tides are virtually absent. We’ve used morphometric characteristics of the seas, including the ones recently obtained by the Azov Sea, as well as methods of numerical hydrodynamic simulation based on the theory of shallow water, and spectral analysis of the observation data of the sea level fluctuations. Keywords: Continental Shelf; Semi-Closed Seas; White Sea; Sea Of Azov; Seiche; Numerical Hydrodynamic Simulation; Spectral Analysis; Flood Introduction located in the Northern and South-Western boundaries of the European part of Russia respectively (Figure 1). In August 2006, on the Dolzhanskaya spit of the Azov sea, the water level rose sharply, people and cars washed away in the sea, the spit broke in several places. At the same time there was no storm warning. In June 2010 on the Yeisk spit of the same sea of Azov at full calm across the sea suddenly appeared powerful current washed away children, wandering on the spit knee-deep in water.

Revision of museum collections showed that the Dniepr Delta is a native locality of the quagga mussel, for example in the Lower Southern Bug and that Dreissena presbensis occurs in the Aegean Sea Basin in Greece. The native range of the zebra mussel includes Danube, Dniestr, Berezan, Southern Bug, Dniepr, Molochnaya, Don, Kuban, Kamchia, and Veleca river basins; isolated and semi-isolated relic estuarian reservoirs along the Bulgarian, Romanian, Ukrainian, and Russian Black and Azov seas coasts; and in zones of these seas influenced by freshwater. Invasive dreissenids in Turkish rivers are local species and subspecies. More recent locations of the dreissenid expansion within the Ponto-Caspian region (Lake Sasyk, Baraboj River, and Sukhoj Liman Basin for the zebra mussel; Dniestr River Basin for the quagga mussel) are described.

The chemical composition of Ukraine's natural waters (rivers, lakes, underground aquifers, seas) is the result of the interaction of a combina- tion of natural factors, as well as their location, mainly in the temperate climatic zone. The average long–term mineralization of atmos- pheric precipitation is usually in the range of 20–40 mg/l, its chemical composition is predominantly sulfate magnesium–calcium. For the chemical composition of water in the small and medium rivers of Ukraine, hydrochemical zoning is observed in the direction from the northwest to the south-east of the country. Mineralization of river waters also increases in this direction (from 200–300 mg/l to 1,500–3,000 mg/l and more).

  • System Approach to the Water Quality and Bioproductivity of the Azov Sea Basin
    River Basin Management III 347 System approach to the water quality and bioproductivity of the Azov Sea basin G. Matishov Southern Scientific Centre RAS, Russia Abstract The environmental state of the Azov Sea is determined by a number of factors among which the influence of river basins plays the leading part. The most prominent anthropogenic impacts are concentrated within the limits of lower Don system including the huge Tsymlyansk reservoir, the group of salinized Manych lakes and ecologically vulnerable Don delta. The environmental management of this area must be based on the integrated approach to marine and freshwater objects. This paper presents preliminary results of the ecological researches carried out in marine and land parts of the Azov basin and recommendations on the development of monitoring systems as well as some practical steps for the improvement of water quality and bioproductivity. Keywords: Azov Sea, Don River, catchment area, monitoring, quality management. 1 Introduction The Sea of Azov with its fluvial drainage systems is a unique in many aspects part of the World Ocean. It includes only insignificant part of both: area and water amount in the chain of the internal seas, consisting of the Mediterranean, the Marmora Sea, the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov (Table 1). But it receives large amounts of fluvial run-off from the drainage system, extending from the central Russia regions till the northern slope of Great Caucasus. As it follows from the data in Table 1, annual inflow of fresh water into the Sea of Azov is more than 10% of its water amount whereas in other seas this index is in the range from 0.3% in the Marmora Sea to 0.01% in the Mediterranean.

Te importance of phytoplankton is high in transformation of substances in aquatic ecosystems and in formation of suspension’s material structure. Its main functions are consumption of the dissolved biogenic components and chemical elements and their conversion to a frm phase. Te article is devoted to the bioaccumulation of microelements by phytoplankton in the ecosystem of the Azov Sea. Te fact that the algal biomass during the periods of blooming in the sea reaches 1,400 g/l makes this study especially urgent. Te authors defne the rates of biogeochemical cycle and the intensity of chemical elements’ consumption and also investigate the role of phytoplankton in the formation chemical peculiarities of bottom deposits and its involvement in sedimentogenesis in the Azov Sea. Te cause of the reduced trace element content in bottom deposits relatively to suspended material is established.
