The researches were focused on the two main ecological problems of the Black Sea

1) Eutrophication of seawater and negative ecological effects of this phenomenon

2) Toxic pollution of marine environment.

Ukrainian Monitoring SystemNational institutions involved in 2007

• UkrSCES - the Ukrainian Scientific Center of Ecology of the Sea, Ministry of the Environment Protection;

• SEINWRBS - State Ecological Inspection of Environmental Protection of the Black sea's North-West region, Ministry of the Environment Protection.

25

Quality Assurance /Quality Control

The two laboratories of department of analytical research of UkrSCES and department of analytical control of SEINWRBS which involved into international marine monitoring system are accredited by the Ukrainian standardization organization.

26

Summary of quality control procedures routinely employed within the laboratory

Use of high quality analytical standards for instrument calibration.

Use of high quality glassware, acids and other reagent and equipment.

Routine calibration and adjustments of AAS and maintance of continuous records of these calibrations.

Routine performance tests including complete procedural blank analyses and spikes

Use of certified reference material and performance of quality control chart.

Use of replicate samples.

RAC PMA in 2007 takes part in the Black Sea intercomparison exercis: QUASIMEME and BSERP Intercalibration Exercise, Round 50 (nutrients in water, organic pollutants in bottom sediments).

International Projects

http://www.cadses.net/projects/apprpro.html

UkrSCES

• “Spatial Planning in Coastal zones”: works concerning the analysis of the current policy, the legislative basis of procedures of the role of spatial planning within the frameworks of ІCZM and sea use planning in Ukraine are under development, the national report concerning these certain problems is being prepared.

• “Black Sea Scientific Network” within the framework of the specific research and technological development programme “Structuring the European Research Area”. Works on filling in the interactive DB “Scientists UkrSCES”, “Publications UkrSCES” and DB Socio-Economic – socio-economic data of Ukrainian coastal areas were fulfilled.

Principal Document RAC PMA1.The Ukrainian Scientific Center of Ecology of the Sea

(UkrSCES) is a Regional Activity Center for Pollution Monitoring and Assessment (RAC PMA) in accordance to the “Strategic Action Plan for the Rehabilitation and Protection of the Black Sea ” (BS- SAP)

2. The purpose of the RAC PMA is to provide support to AG PMA and together with the AG PMA deals with organizational , scientific-methodical and technical functioning of the Regional Monitoring System and conducts the assessment of pollution of the Black Sea within the framework of the Black Sea Ecological Program (BSEP) and the support for implementation of the Bucharest Convention.

3. The Head of the RAC PMA is Director of UkrSCES.

35

Principal Document RAC PMA4. RAC PMA tasks: information and scientific-methodical support of the Permanent

Secretariat of the Black Sea Commission and Coordinating Council of the BSEP program on assessment, diagnosis and forecasting of the Black Sea environment;

scientific-methodical support of the activities of the Black Sea international monitoring system;

analyze the information obtained by Secretariat of the Black Sea Commission from the National Centers of Monitoring, preparation a review about the State of Environment of the Black Sea for AG PMA and the Permanent Secretariat;
