The monitoring of ecological state of the Crimean coast is the great environmental importance. The aim of the work was to determine the concentration of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in the water column of the Azov-Black Sea coastal waters of the Crimea. It could be the first stage of planning and conducting of regular studies, as well as providing information on their content in the studied region in the spring season. The amount of TPH in water was determined by IR-spectrometry. The analysis of their content in the waters of the twelve-mile zone of the Crimean coast of the Black and Azov Seas showed that, this water area, despite the presence of these pollutants, was characterized as safe in terms of the determined indicator. Almost everywhere, there was a decrease in the amount of this class of substances with depth, which demonstrates the surface path of TPH input into the sea. In the area of the Kerch Strait, maximal permissible concentrations (MPC) excesses were recorded. In general, a decrease in the concentration of TPH compared to the same period in 1995 was noted. Despite the fact that levels of petroleum hydrocarbons content in the waters of the Crimean coast were far from damaging aquatic organisms, monitoring of this indicator is vital due to the increasing anthropogenic load on the recreational zones of Crimea.
