The physicochemical characteristics of the sediments of Balaklava bay: granulometric composition and fractional composition content of organic and inorganic carbon are considered. The spatial distribution of the main factions of particle size distribution and content of organic carbon (TOC) and calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) are investigated. The relationship between the organic and inorganic carbon and particle size distribution of sediments are analyzed. The main formation factors of the sediment
