Ukrainian Monitoring SystemNational institutions involved in 2008

• UkrSCES - the Ukrainian Scientific Center of Ecology of the Sea, Ministry of the Environment Protection (Department of Analytical Research and Organization of Monitoring, head Yuriy Denga,)

• SEINWRBS - State Ecological Inspection of Environmental Protection of the Black sea's North-West Region, Ministry of the Environment Protection (Department of Analytical Control, head Evgeniy Patlatiuk).

• SEINBAS - State Ecological Inspection of Environmental Protection of the Black and Azov Seas, Ministry of the Environment Protection (Department of Analytical Control)

Quality Assurance /Quality Control

The three laboratories: department of analytical research of UkrSCES, department of analytical control of SEINWRBS and department of analytical control of SEINBAS which are involved in the international marine monitoring system are accredited by the Ukrainian standardization organization.

1. Material and methods:

• 42 stations have been sampled in Ukrainian part of Black Sea•the salinity, T°C, pH, and DO, were measured using a Neil Brown Instruments Systems (STD) with a General Oceanic rosette and Niskin bottles at several water layers. It also provided water samples for further analysis of BOD5, nitrite-N, nitrate-N, ammonia-N, Ntotal, Porg, Pmin, Ptotal, Corg, seston, as well as concentration of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and pesticides, which were also measured in bottom sediments. •Sediment samples were obtained with a Petersen’s bottom sampler (0.25 m2) and subsampled from the uppermost 3 cm of the sediment column for grain-size, geochemical, and biological analyses. Grain-size study of the sediments was performed by wet sieving and pipette analysis as described in Rukhin (1969). •Biological samples were obtained by thimble with an inlet of 12.5 cm, washed on the deck through 1 mm and 67 µm sieve, stored in 4 % formalin solution buffered with sea water, and stained in the laboratory with buffered Rose Bengal over 48 hours. •Zoo- and phytoplankton were collected by Jedi trap.

Disaster in the Kerch Strait

• On 11 November 2007, a strong storm in the Kerch Strait (which connects the Sea of Azov with the Black Sea and separates Ukraine from the Russian Federation) resulted in thirteen vessels being sunk, stranded, or damaged and the incident caused loss of life, of property, and environmental harm.

32

Disaster in the Kerch Strait

• The four vessels that sank were: motor tanker Volgoneft-139 (Russian Flag), motor vessel Volnogorsk, motor vessel Nahichevan (Russian Flag), and motor vessel Kovel (Russian Flag).

• Russian motor vessel Volgoneft-139 initially leaked approximately 1,300 tones of fuel oil into the sea.
