In order to classify the vegetation, as well as its sozological assessment, based on the Brown-Blancke method, geobotanical descriptions of the vegetation of the spit and Tuzla island were carried out, rare species were noted, and a cartographic survey of the territory was carried out. As a result of five-year studies, the classification of vegetation of the spit and Tuzla island was made. 22 associations (2 new - Lactuco tataricae-Elaeagnetum angustifoliae and Gypsophiletum perfoliatae), 8 subassociations (6 new - Lactuco tataricae-Elaeagnetum angustifoliae juncetosum maritimae, L. t.-E. a.) are described. Artemisetosum arenariae, Phragmito-Juncetum maritimi puccinelietisum distantis, Cakilo euxinae-Crambetum artemisetosum arenariae, Cakilo euxinae-Lactucetum tataricae typicum, C. e.-L. t. gypsophiletosum perfoliatae, basal 2 community and 7 out of 13 classes and 14 unions. A geobotanical map of the spit and Tuzla island has been compiled. The high estimates of the environmental significance of observed association: Cakilo euxinae-Lactucetum tataricae, Eryngio maritimi-Cakiletum euxinae, Gypsophiletum perfoliatae and Elaeagnetum angustifoliae-Lactucetum tataricae. The necessary establishment of protected areas for the protection of some plant communities in the vegetation and the islands.
