Monitoring of Shallow-Water Methane Seeps at Cape Fiolent (Black Sea)
Journal: Oceanology
Year: 2023

From 2019 to 2021, integrated studies of new shallow-water methane bubble gas seeps were carried out in the coastal zone near Cape Fiolent (Southwest Coast of Crimea). The studies included determination of the hydrocarbon and isotope composition of bubble gas, measurement of the methane and nutrient concentration in the water in the areas of gas seeps, estimation of the value of bubble flows, and measurement of the hydrophysical parameters over the seep sites compared to background areas.
