title: SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF HEAVY METALS IN THE BOTTOM SEDIMENTS OF BAYS OF THE SEVASTOPOL REGION
abstract: The paper presents the results of studying the spatial distribution of heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Ni, Cr, Sr, Co, Fe, Mn) in the bottom sediments of the bays of the Sevastopol region. The data obtained during the 2003 to 2018 expeditions are analyzed. The spatial distribution and accumulation of heavy metals in the bottom sediments of the Sevastopol, Kazachya and Balaklava bays are studied. Correlations between their content and the physico-chemical characteristics of bottom sediments of the studied
