Journal: Physical Oceanography
Year: 2020

Purpose. The work is aimed at estimating the organic carbon abundance in the bottom sediments of the littoral zone in connection with the state of macrozoobenthos in the Sevastopol region coastal waters with different levels of the anthropogenic pressure (by the example of the Laspi Bay). Methods and Results. The samples were taken in the dynamically active coastal-shelf zone (up to the depths ~ 20 m) of the Laspi Bay in September, 2017. Two samples were taken during the 103rd cruise of R/V "Pro
