Here we describe the results from development and testing of the automatic water surface pollution search and identification method using satellite optical imagery. A search of water surface characterized by the specific shape of spectral reflectance curve distinguishing from typical background curve in visible and near-IR bands was carried out within the test area (Russian Black Sea areas) using satellite data (Landsat-7/8 and Sentinel-2A/B, March 2017 - August 2018). When such sites were detected, additional research was carried out, including the difference between the anomaly and background water spectra, spatial shape, size, relation of this area with potential pollution sources etc. The results of this research allowed us to make a conclusion on the origin of the registered anomalies. Possible thematic application of the proposed method by the example of water surface oil pollution search and identification are described here.
