Geographical Coverage Georgian Black Sea coastal region sea area, Supsa Oil Terminal offshore.
Summary This project was a third stage of Supsa Oil Terminal Monitoring program, started in 2001 and continued in 2006. For collection of investigated material were used the cutter “Asmati”, appurtenant of Supsa oil terminal. Objectives of cruise were the collection and analyze of water and sediment samples from r. Supsa, offshore zone of Oil Terminal and river delta, with purpose the evaluation of Terminal impact in marine environment. In collected samples following parameters are controlled: water samples: hydrochemical parameters: (temperature, conductivity/salinity, depth, DO, pH, Eh), BOD, COD, total suspended solids, NH4, total petroleum hydrocarbons, and metals (Fe, Cr, Pb, Zn, Cd). In bottom sediments: grain size, metals (Fe, Zn, Cu, Cr, Pb, Cd, Ba), TPH, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
