The quasi-steady Lagrangian transport patterns in the Black Sea are quantified and identified from climatological Lagrangian Coherent Structures. Wind velocity and Earth observation data have been incorporated to illustrate the potential applications of these results. The persistent squeezelines show that the high aggregation of passive tracers in the coastal region is a consequence of the complex coastal configuration of the Black Sea. The continental shelf is characterized by high stirring and
