Abstract
The main purpose of the research is to assess the natural landscape reserve potential and to propose measures that reflect the character of the landscape and its regional-ecological importance. The research area is the Caspian coastal plains from the Pirsaat River to the Astara River in Azerbaijan. For the assessment, the landscape potential of the study area was divided into weak, medium, and strong categories according to the criteria. During the assessment, it was revealed that landscapes with a low natural resource potential cover 42% of the area, landscapes with an average natural resource potential - 23%, and landscapes with a strong natural resource potential - 11%. Protected landscapes cover 24% of the study area. Evaluation of the sensitivity of landscapes to technogenic impacts showed that most of the territory (41%) is at a severe ecological level.
 Keywords: natural landscape, ecological potential, coastal zone, ecological stress, optimization.
