The water quality of the Black Sea is “within the norm” based on the analysis of samples obtained last week across the western Georgian coastline, the country’s National Environmental Agency said on Friday after the meeting of the subregional group in Bulgaria.
At the meeting, held with the support of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Bulgarian and Georgian specialists discussed the ongoing water quality research activities and their results.
The body said amounts of biogenic components, heavy metals and total oil hydrocarbons in the samples were “within normal range” in both the Bulgarian and Georgian Black Sea waters.
The Agency noted the meeting on Benchmark Assessment for Black Sea anchovy aimed to preserve the stocks of biological resources in the Black Sea and promote sustainable fisheries.
The National Environment Agency of Georgia on Monday said it would monitor the quality of the Black Sea water at its nine stations once every 10 days to identify the main physical and chemical parameters including salinity, content of dissolved oxygen and biogenic elements.
Water quality monitoring of the Black Sea has shown it to be “within the norm” along the coastline, the National Environment Agency of Georgia said on Monday.
The Georgian Environmental Agency’s laboratory of atmospheric air, water and soil analysis have been provided with the latest water monitoring equipment by EU.
Nino Chkhobadze, the Chair of the Greens Movement of Georgia/Friends of the Earth - Georgia, on Thursday told the Georgian Public Broadcaster the country’s territorial seas were “completely free of pollution” and not under the threat of being contaminated with waters from the flooding of the Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine in June.
The Georgian National Environmental Agency on Tuesday said a study of 59 main physical and chemical parameters of waters along the Black Sea coastline had shown it to be “within the norm”.

The National Environmental Agency of Georgia on Tuesday said the quality of the Black Sea waters was “within norm” based on analyses of samples obtained between August 5-9 across the western Georgian coastline. The body said concentration of 13 heavy metals, total oil hydrocarbons, 16 polyaromatic hydrocarbons and other physico-chemical parameters had been measured in the samples.
