The 18th expedition of the research vessel "V.Parshin" (15-30.09.1995) of the Ukrainian Scientific center ofEcology of the Seawas performed in the framework of International program Global Environmental Facility "Black Sea Environmental Programme" (GEF/BSEP), organized in compliance with the Bucharest Conventions provisions and decisions of the Odessa Ministerial Declaration on Black Sea protection from pollution and aimed at their implementation.

In compliance with the Ministerial Declaration, in 1996, it is necessary to complete assessment of sources and levels of pollution by substances enumerated in Annexes I and II to Protocols on protection from land sources and dumping of the Convention on Black Sea protection from Pollution and to carry out preliminary study of their influence upon the environment. Implementation of this task is one of the main purposes of the BSEP working plan for 1995 and the expedition in question - an important step in realization of this aim.

 

Some of the sampling stations listed below are connected to a sample set of data. The active points below are 120, 122, 130, 132, 137, 139, and 141. Currently, the data will be displayed in tabular form and is from the TGM dataset listed below.
