Abstract
The study of analytical patterns in the evolution of individual components of the oceanosphere was laid down in oceanology by the programme of the first oceanological expedition aboard the Challenger at the end of the 19th century. The national geographical school solves problems that are relevant both in physical geography and oceanology: the study of the interaction of the components of nature, and the identification and description of natural territorial complexes of regional and local scales. Successful integrated study, development and protection of natural resources of the coastal zone and the shelf of the World Ocean require the use of analytical oceanological and integrated geographic research methods.

Keywords
Analytical studies, integrated studies, coastal zone and shelf, natural territorial complexes, zoning principles, underwater landscape concept, integrated landscape study programme.
