The soils of coastal plains are considered. It is argued that these soils have some specific common features and can be placed in the world systems of soil classification under the name of Thalassosols. The subdivision of Thalassosols at lower taxonomic levels and their nomenclature are suggested. Morphological descriptions of separated groups of Thalassosols are given by the example of the soils studied along the Russian coast of the Sea of Japan.
