RESUMO

Based on the analysis of samplings obtained at the depths 0.5−15 m, the description of macrophytobenthos in the southeastern coastal zone of Crimea is given. It is shown that autochthonous oligotrophyc plant communities are persisted in the area of Karadag although they are partially transformed because of anthropogenic eutrophication. Original oligotrophyc phytocenoses are preserved also in some places of Feodosiya Bay, the aquatic area subjected to high anthropogenic impact. Currently, maximally undisturbed native phytocenoses still occur near the Meganom Peninsula that may be considered as a standard.
