Based on complex systemic observation of the heavy metals contents (Cu, Zn, Pb, Cr, Cd, V, Mn) examined a mechanism of their distribution in the various parts of Kuyalnik estuary ecosystem (water-sediment-soil-plants), identified the most polluted parts of coastal area and the estuary. The basis of ecological and geochemical evaluation of trace elements distribution in natural ecosystem of the estuary is comparison with indicators of the natural background.
