The study of regional characteristics of the bottom sediments physicochemical structure in semi-closed water areas (using the example of the Balaklava Bay) is especially relevant due to the fact that the recreational potential development rate of this region has significantly increased. During the studies, 3 columns (two in northern part of the bay and one in southern) of bottom sediments were taken and the activity of 137Cs, 210Pb, and 226Ra in them was determined. Column samples were taken using an acrylic soil ...

Studies of bottom sediments in the Crimean Peninsula coastal regions are highly essential because these sediments are under heavy pressures of maritime activities, but their good ecological state is highly important due to resort attractiveness of this region. Correlation between physical and chemical characteristics of sediments makes it possible to determine sedimentation conditions and anthropogenic impacts. Samples have been taken from the surface layer of bottom sediments in the coastal regions of Crimea in 2...
