Modern natural conditions of the North-Western Pryazovia region as a coastal marine area of Southern Ukraine

The North-Western Pryazovia region as a geographical territory is limited: from the east by the watershed line of Berda river; from the west and north-west by the watershed line of the Dnieper and Milk river (including the Large Utlyuk basin); in the north by the watershed line of the Pryazovia Upland between Berda river and tributary systems of Mokra and Sukha Konca, Haychur and Kamenka rivers. From the south, the area is limited by the coastline of Azov sea, with its bays and estuaries. The North-Western Pryazovia region is the extreme southern and south-eastern part of the Ukrainian crystalline shield, which goes into the Black Sea basin and bounded by faults. It extends from north to south for 148 km and from west to east for 200 km.
