Abstract
It is shown that the influence of dumping upon the geoecological state of Nakhodka Bay shows up not only in pollution of bottom sediments by technogenic impurities but also in changes in sedimentation conditions as a result of the transformation of the relief and the hydrodynamical situation. Flows of material, associated with the dumping of earth, cause a qualitative modification in the composition of bottom sediments and form sources of secondary pollution. The dumping of earth may well be categorized as one of the most powerful processes influencing pollution, sedimentation patterns and landscape structure of the littoral zone of the sea. To continue the control over the situation requires a routine monitoring of the consequences of the dumping with due regard for the natural conditions of the area.
