Sea-coastal vulnerability maps to oil included in oil spill response plans minimize damage from spills and response operations themselves. Russian and foreign existing methods for constructing maps are not completely correct, since they are based on calculations using ordinal values, which is unacceptable. There are some problems in case of refusal from ranks: selection of uniform units for measuring density of biota distribution; assessment of vulnerability coefficients for biota living in the water column or on its surface. Possible solutions of these and other problems are given. The adoption of a unified Russian method of vulnerability mapping is discussed.
