International cooperation (for example, within the framework of the Black Sea Environmental Programme, EROS Programme) is a promising way for solving ecological problems that have the transboundary character. Marine hydrobiological institutions of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences are active contributors to their implementation. %8 2000-08-01
