Abstract: The article presents information on a study conducted on the microbial processes in the bottom sediments of the Dolgaya-Vostochnaya Bay before the construction of the Northern tidal power plant (TPP). It is stated that the construction and operation of the Northern TPP results in the contamination of the near-bottom region with sulfide due to the activity of sulfate-reducing bacteria.
