Black Sea coastal zone, Rv.Supsa delta

Concentration of organic matter in sediments

Sediment grabs; balances and scales

The Rv. Supsa and the sea area adjacent to the river delta are located in the limits of the zone subjected to the impact from oil pipeline and oil terminal. Objectives of cruise were the collection and analyze of water and sediment samples from r. Supsa, offshore zone of Oil Terminal and river delta, with purpose of evaluation of Terminal impact on marine environment. Concentration of organic carbon is determined by gravimetric method, after igniting of sediment samples.
