Construction of the offshore gas pipeline “Dzhubga–Lazarevskoye–Sochi” in 2009–2010 aimed to increase reliability of gas supply on the Black Sea coast and to provide gas for the facilities involved in the Olympic Games 2014 in Sochi. The purpose of the monitoring project was to organize and perform integrated satellite monitoring in the eastern part of the Black Sea in the framework of industrial environmental monitoring and control of the construction of the offshore gas pipeline from March to October 2010. We show brief results of the monitoring which was focused on the near-real time control of total suspended matter (TSM) concentration in the coastal zone, monitoring of water dynamics, river plumes, and water areas with high concentration of suspended matter.
