Habitat distribution analysis of coastal lichens of the Kandalaksha Bay of the White Sea has been conducted. Lichens cover of rock monoliths and boulders has studied. Ten types of ecotops has identified between the water’s edge of the sea and soil-vegetable complex within the four zones. At the water’s edge (first zone) and near the soil-vegetable complex (fourth zone) environments on rock monoliths and boulders ere more homogeneous and only 1–2 types of ecotops were distinguished. A limited number of lichen species inhabits in the ecotops. Whereas, six types of ecotops are distinguished in the second and third zones. The 80 species of lichens inhabit in these zones. According to analysis six groups of types of ecotops from the 10 types of ecotops have distinguished within the studied areas. Key words : Kandalaksha Bay of the White Sea, coastal lichens, habitat distribution analysis, types of ecotops.
