This work consists of assessing the degree of pollution caused by wastewater, Power station discharge pipe and petroleum port in the gulf of Tobruk-Libya. This study is based on the analysis of the physicochemical parameters, the parameters indicating pollution and the determination of pH, DO, BOD, OOM, phenol, Salinity, nutrients (PO4, SiO3, NO2, NO3 and NH3), sodium and potassium on seawater samples taken from the site. The sampling was carried out during the April of year 2015. The results obtained show significant values in physicochemical parameters, pollution indicator parameters. The results of the pollution indicator parameters show the presence of important pollution at the site studied. It is clear from the determination of physicochemical parameters that the site under investigation shows a high contamination of seawater according to pollution caused by wastewater, Power station discharge pipe and petroleum port near the gulf of Tobruk-Libya. The absence of treatment and the long-term exposure to these discharges will lead to dangerous levels which maybe lead to destruction of marine life may affect people living near the port.
