Pollution of oil and its derivatives is an important part of the pollution of the sea and has a lot of risks to organisms in general and organisms living in the marine environment, and the oil contains in its components on several toxic chemical compounds, which vary in composition and properties of each other. The study was conducted on the coast of the city of Benghazi, the city of Brega, and the city of Ras Lanuf, where samples of bottom soil were collected during winter and summer. From the area of Jaliana, Benghazi, the location of the beach and the Sabkha next to the asphalt plant, and the warehouse of the company Brega heavy oil, The opposite shore of the central saline in Benghazi, The location of the ship near the shore. Benghazi port berth No. (1 and 7), the beach where the North Benghazi steam station is located, Sidi Khalife Beach, Driana Beach area, Brega Beach and marina, and the beach and marina of Ras Lanuf city. The results obtained in this study for the samples analyzed revealed the presence of large amounts of organic matter in the sediments and the presence of significant pollution of oil derivatives and crude oil in the studied sites.
