Abstract

This work considers the possibility of improving the surface water monitoring process of the Black Sea rivers basin, which is located on the territory of Odesa, Mykolaiv and Kherson regions and is divided into 3 parts by the basins of the Dniester, Southern Bug and Dnipro rivers. First of all, the article considers aspects of the current state of monitoring of water bodies in Ukraine, as well as an analysis of indicators of surface water pollution in one of the Ukrainian Black Sea regions. Also identified is the problem of the lack of an approved procedure for ensuring a stable ecological state of the conditions for the existence of aquatic biological resources or the process of monitoring these conditions by subjects of the fishing sector. Also, the article considers the possible influence of aquaculture and fishery subjects on the ecological state of surface waters. The importance of proper monitoring of the surface waters of the Ukrainian Black Sea is due to the fact that starting from the source of the river to its mouth, there is a gradual accumulation of pollutants, which is due to the rather slow process of self-purification of the rivers of Ukraine, as well as due to the one of the main tasks of the monitoring system of water bodies – the study of regularities removal of polluting substances through river estuaries into water bodies, in the case of the consideration of the Ukrainian Black Sea region – into the Black Sea. As a result, proposals were made for reforming the provision of monitoring of water bodies in the Ukrainian Black Sea region and it was determined that the most successful option for the development of statistical provision in this area would be the involvement of fisheries subjects in the process of state water monitoring, what would help not only to ensure the bodies of the executive power and the public with additional information about the ecological state of surface waters, but will also be able to significantly increase the social responsibility of business in the field of fisheries. It should be noted that despite the contribution of scientists to research on the development of surface water monitoring, the question of the role of aquaculture entities in the process of surface water monitoring is open.
