Bio-optical studies were carried out in coastal waters around the Crimea peninsula in different seasons 2016. It was shown that variability of chlorophyll a concentration (Chl-a), light absorption by suspended particles (a<sub>p</sub>(&lambda;)), phytoplankton pigments (a<sub>ph</sub>(&lambda;)), non-algal particles (a<sub>NAP</sub>(&lambda;)) and by colored dissolved organic matter (a<sub>CDOM</sub>(&lambda;)) in the Crimea coastal water was high (~order of magnitudes) in all seasons 2016.
