The fact is that in the world today water and land represents limited life resources which are more and more degrade and disturbed, mostly by anthropogenic influence. Especially water (seas, rivers, lakes) is exposed to various types of pollution. The fact is that in the world today water and land represented limited life resources which are more. That why in present time we conduct numerous scientific researches to examine, advance and protect our environment, especially water as a limited and delicate natural resource. In this work results from April to September 2011 are presented, which comprised analyses of samples from 8 stations in Boka Kotorska Bay. The main aim was to estimate trophic level, of determining the concentration of the physico-chemical parameters, chlorophyll a and TRIX index in Boka Kotorska Bay.

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.

As other areas on Montenegrin coast, Bokakotorska bay is also under a heavy impact of anthropogenic factors and the activities on the shore. The aim of the present work was to determine the levels of lead and cadmium in coastal surface sea water and sediment at three stations located in the inner shore waters Boka Kotor bay, and at one station located off shore Montenegrian coast considered as a reference station. The comparison of the results obtained for the inner shore stations with reference station showed that the content of this metals in some station are considerable increased in ratio to reference station.

Monitoring of ecological condition of the coastal sea of Montenegro has been carried out extensively since 1963 along with foundation of the Institute of marine Biology in Kotor (Montenegro). Recently, in accordance with recommendations of the Barcelona Convention, the LBS Protocol, the EU Framework Directive for coastal waters and domestic laws, in recent years has been carried out continuous monitoring of quality water, sediments, biota as well as ecological effects of pollution on constant monitoring positions in this southeastern part of the Adriatic. In this paper was given an over view of activities and the plan of long-term continuous monitoring of environmental quality and ecological condition of the coastal sea of Montenegro.

Based on all available data a review of introduced non-indigenous species is reported for the area of Montenegrian coastal sea (South-East Adriatic Sea). All together 11 species were recorded, three algae and eight animals. Monitoring of invasive species has been done partially only for Caulerpa racemose var. cylindracea, while for other species distribution and impact on autochthonous environment is unknown.

In this paper some results of investigations of physical, chemical and biological parameters were presented from the parts of Montenegrin coastal sea exposed to the impact of the open waters of the Southern Adriatic sea. As Herceg Novi area is simultaneously the part of the Boka Kotorska Bay (which goes deeply to mainland), eutrophication is more visiable there. Biological parameters were the most visiable indicators of eutrophication during these investigations.

Monitoring of demersal resources in the Montenegrin coast start at 1997. We used commercial trawl vessels by monthly dynamic trawling. Processed total catch, estimated percentage part in total catch and CPUE (Catch per Unit Effort). We used standard fishery biology methods, estimation of population dynamic parameters, economical important fish, Red Pandora, Pagellus erythrinus, Red Mullet, Mullus barbatus, and crustaceans species, Pink shrimp, Parapenaeus longirostris. Also, we estimated relative and absolute biomass and MSY (Maximum Sustainable Yield) of this important demersal resources. This data give support to Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management (of the Republic of Montenegro) to organize responsible exploitation of this resources. We finded center of higher biomass and relation to hydrographic factors, influence of income freshwater in the sea and increase of trophic level in this areas.
