Marine sediments are very important for transport, fate and influence of heavy metals in marine ecosystem and therefore they represent good indicator of its ecological status. A great attention has been given in the last two decades in the Mediterranean region to the determination of heavy metals concentration in marine sediments through the monitoring programs, as well as to the studies of heavy metals distribution and their effects on biota. This paper presents the concentrations of Cr, Ni, Cu, Cd, Pb, and Zn determined by EDPXRF method, in the surficial sediment samples taken from six location in the coastal region of the South East Adriatic and their distribution in the investigated area. It can be noticed the influence of the Bojana river regarding the content and distribution of selected heavy metals.
