Abstract: This study is part of an ethnobotanical investigation of the medicinal plants in the Northern Black Sea coast region, which includes the area from the village of Durankulak to the town of Obzor. The boundaries were determined using the map of the floristic regions in Bulgaria. Field work was conducted in the period from April to September 2016. 106 people from 17 communities were surveyed. The study was carried out on the basis of the survey methodology. Interviews with the local population were conducted using original questionnaires prepared upfront. The respondents belong to different gender, ethnicity, age and education groups. This work represents the results of surveys in small communities only, since the field work is not over yet.

The data from the different applications of medicinal plants in the life of the local population were processed and summarized.
