The purpose of the article was to describe the Northwestern part of the Black Sea (NWBS) and the Odessa Region of the Black Sea during the period 1988–2012 and the seaside of Kylyia branch of the Danube during the period 2004–2014, where the Institute of Marine Biology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine has been carried out a comprehensive study using the lithological maps of polygons.
Design/methodology/approach. The database of the Institute of Marine Biology of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine contains data obtained as a result of regular complex expeditions and laboratory processing of collected samples of water and bottom sediments from and the seaside of Kylyia branch of the Danube. The content of heavy metals, oil products and detergents in water and bottom sediments was determined in the laboratories of the Institute, accredited or certified in UkrSEPRO and Odessa Regional Center for Standardization, Metrology and Certification.
Finding. At the Odessa Region of the Black Sea polygon to a depth of 10 m, precipitation is mainly represented by medium-fine-grained sands with admixtures of mud components and shell detritus. On the surface of the bottom of the northern part of the test area are spread aleuritic mud and shell rock. In the north-eastern part of the test area the Odessa sandbank is represented by sediments of heterogeneous grained sands and shell rock. The central part is characterized by the prevalence of predominantly mud of biogenic and polygenic origin, and less often sandy mud. In the south-western part of the area, the Dniester Sandbank is represented by terrigenous and biogenic sands, shell detritus and shellfish. The southern part of the area also represented by shell rock, mud of polygenic and biogenic origin with sand and shells. In the eastern part of the test area, the prevailing is mud. The seaside of Danube is formed due to a solid flow from the branches of the river Danube. The sediments of the coast area are represented by alluvial sediments consisting of aleuro-pelitic mud, organogenic sands of carbonate composition, shellfish and its detritus. The northern part is represented by terrigenous-biogenic sands and polygene aleuritic mud, while in the north-west area terrigenous-biogenic sands predominate. The central part is represented by the aleuritic mud and shell rock. To the south, at the output of the Starostambul sleeve there are terrigenous sands, pelitic mud with shells. The tables give information on the components of observations and the number of measurements, ranges of salinity, the content of all forms of nutrients in water, contaminants in water and bottom sediments.
The practical significance and conclusions. The database of the Institute of Marine Biology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine includes the results of research on two marine polygons. A monograph, numerous articles and GIS maps were prepared on the basis of the database.

Keywords: polygons, salinity, biogenic substances, heavy metals, oil, Northwestern part of the Black sea.
