The relevance of the study of the bottom sediments physicochemical characteristics in Crimea coastal regions, known for their resort attractiveness, is explained by the fact that these characteristics largely determine or signifi-cantly affect on the characteristics of the pollutants and trace metals accumulation in them, the oxygen regime of pore and near-bottom waters and conditions for the occurrence of oxygen deficiency and secondary sources of pollution, environmental and recreational characteristics. The paper presents the results of a comprehensive physicochemical analysis of the bottom sediments surface layer samples taken with the Ocean 0.1 dredger in the coastal zone of the Crimean Peninsula from Cape Tarkhankut to the Kerch Strait during the ex-pedition on the R/V Professor Vodyanitsky in September 2018. A statistical assessment of the correlation between the individual fractions of bottom sediments, the content of organic matter and concentrations of trace metals was performed...
