Some ways of the Black Sea coastal waters phytoplankton community adaptation to changes in water temperature, nutrients concentration and anthropogenic pollution have been identified on the example of the Sevastopol Bay. The increase in water temperature and decrease in nutrient content in the studied waters during 2000 – 2014 caused a gradual decrease in the chlorophyll a concentrations, total phytoplankton biomass and its re-composition, predominantly in the summer and autumn periods. The phyt
