Abstract
The assessment of the level of bottom sediments organic matter pollution in the period 2009–2015 in various water areas of the coast of Sevastopol (Kamyshovaya, Streletskaya and Kazachya bays) was made. Nowadays there are no precise criteria for assessment the pollution levels. So, various approaches to assess pollution were analyzed and compared to determine the most appropriate one. The results showed that statistical methods did not verify differences that were revealed by the analysis of the benthic community reaction on the content of chloroform-extractable substances in the bottom sediments. Spoken about the pollution dynamics, a scientific assessment showed that the average level of organic pollution in Streletskaya bay decreased, while in Kamyshovaya and Kazachya it corresponded to relatively clean water areas.
