In this paper we studied the spatial and temporal characteristics of cyanobacteria bloom in the Azov Sea based on data from Landsat satellites sensors for 1999–2016. The strongest blooms were observed in 1999 and 2006–2009, when cyanobacteria occupied the entire central part of the Azov Sea. The maximal blooming in these years was in August–September. In 2006, cyanobacteria penetrated from the Azov Sea into the Black Sea through the Kerch Strait. The longest and most extensive cyanobacteria bloo
