The oil pollution of samples was determined by UVF, through various crude oils and also chrysene as references materials. The oil pollution in water was ranged from 6.17 μg/L at Datca to 59.58 μg/L at Kuşadası through Russian crude oil equivalent. The highest polluted areas were Babakale-Kuşadası Bay, West of Giadoros Island and Yalıkavak - Kardak Island. The comparison the results of present work with the earlier findings, showed that the pollution level is increased during the years in this area.
