Black Sea

A landlocked sea within eastern Europe, the Black Sea is one of the youngest large bodies of water on Earth. It sits within the borders of six independent nations: Georgia, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Bulgaria and Romania.

Biological Analysis

The shallower areas of the Black Sea are cooler and less salty. Beneath this top layer, salinity increases, as do concentrations of sulfides. The sea is generally a dark blue when seen from space, but can have swirls of turquoise which would indicate large concentrations of phytoplankton.

Tourist Destination

Cities along the Black Sea are popular locations of holiday resorts. The south-eastern region of Bulgaria alone is home to dozens of sea and resort towns, including Burgas and Sveti Vlas. The Danube River enters the Black Sea through Romania; cruises are popular through this region.
