Abstract
The report is the first to confirm the hypothesis that algal mats provoke additional accumulation of heavy metals in the bottom sediments and a release of labile metals. This process, in turn, enforces pollution of the coastal zone. Our results give a new direction to studying of the “green tide” worldwide problem.
