Abstract
One of the most important problems of modern ecology and protection of natural resources is the problem of formation, functioning and sustainability of ecosystems in urbanized territories. We conducted observations to assess the specific anthropogenic load in the city associated with people visiting recreational areas. The urban reservoirs of St. Petersburg have a high level of pollution with household and recreational garbage and a low level of pollution with industrial garbage. The total proportion of dead zooplankton in relation to live ones ranged from low (10.8%) to medium (46.2%), and in reservoirs with maximum indicators of garbage contamination, the proportion of dead zooplankton is higher.
