Recent stress fields at the northern margin of the Black Sea have been characterized on the base of 32 mechanisms of the earthquakes foci. Orientations of compression axes in the foci give evidence that present-day tectonic process takes place under conditions of compression and transpression. For 13 mechanisms located within the band between the southern cost of the Crimea and the base of the continental slope regional stress field has been estimated, which reflects deformational regime of hori
