Abstract

The Black Sea’s hydrographic network, coastline depths, and seafloor relief are topics of utmost importance in the study of its today morphohydrography and morphodynamics. The hydrographic network of the Black Sea basin stretches on a large surface of Eurasia, 22 countries, of over 22 million km2.
