The report describes one possible approach to complex account environmental factors to determine the sensitivity of shoreline bays of the White Sea to the oil spill, proposed integral index of the sensitivity of coastal areas, taking into account the relationship of geological and geomorphological structure of the coast, the physical processes that occur in contact with the oil on shore and the vulnerability of biota to oil spills.
