Radium isotopes have traditionally been used as tracers of surface and underground fresh waters in land-ocean interactions. The concentration of these isotopes is most effective on sorbents containing mixed oxides of manganese. During the 116 RV Professor Vodyanitsky cruise (22 April-17 May 2021), a study about the possibility and efficiency of <sup>226</sup>Ra and <sup>228</sup>Ra recovery from seawater using various types of sorbents was conducted. The influence of seawater flow rate on the so
