The National Environmental Agency of Georgia has confirmed that the Black Sea water quality along the country’s coastline remains within safe and acceptable limits, based on comprehensive laboratory studies.
The agency conducts monthly monitoring at 12 locations along the Georgian Black Sea coast, measuring a wide range of hydro-biological and chemical parameters. These include 13 types of heavy metals, total petroleum hydrocarbons, 16 polyaromatic hydrocarbons, and various physico-chemical indicators.
All samples are analyzed at the agency’s accredited laboratory, which is equipped with high-precision instruments and meets modern international standards for air, water, and soil testing.
During a recent visit to one of the sampling sites, Elene Ghubianuri, Head of the National Environmental Agency, was joined by Adjara’s Minister of Agriculture Zaza Shavadze and Deputy Minister Mirian Katamadze, who observed the ongoing data collection efforts.
“According to laboratory studies conducted so far, the water quality of the Black Sea along the entire Georgian coastline is within acceptable limits,” said Ghubianuri. “Our agency conducts year-round monitoring and continues to strengthen its system in line with the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive.”
The results of all studies are regularly published and made available on the agency’s official website, ensuring transparency and public access to environmental data.
