This book provides information on the causes, consequences, and
possible solutions to modern environmental problems associated with
ocean pollution with a particular focus on the Back Sea. The oceans
are a vast but fragile complex. In recent decades, it has become
especially manifest when ocean pollution has reached an
unparalleled situation. Meanwhile, not only the well-being of
ecosystems depends on the state of ocean waters, but human
civilization largely depends on the oceans as a consequence of
environmental dependence. This book examines the consequences of
pollutants such as oil and hydrocarbon products (including plastics
and microplastics), water acidification, sewage, wastewaters
discharge into the ocean, thermal pollution, nuclear pollution, and
biological pollution. Beyond the types of pollutants and their
consequences, this book outlines the state of the art of the legal
situation internationally regarding ocean pollution. The authors
also show the current pollution of the inland seas, taking as an
example of the Black Sea (anthropogenic and natural sources of
pollution, its shelf, and shallow waters as well as international
legislation). A part of the book analyzes the main types of
environmental monitoring of the oceans and their role in solving
ocean pollution problems with a particular interest in the Black
Sea. The book is of interest to specialists in ocean pollution,
ecologists, oceanologists, students, and graduate students studying
oceanography, marine ecology, current methods of environmental
monitoring, and legal problems related to the oceans and seas
pollution, as well as to anyone interested in modern problems of
the oceans.
