Russia has the third longest coastline of any nation on the planet, the biodiversity along the coast line is astonishing. This is because there is a range of habitats from the small, warm shallow sea of Azov to the large cold Artic ocean. Coast line length is a hard thing to determine but acording to The World Factbook Russias coastline is 37,653km long.


Russia has coastline along several seperated large bodies of water. There is coastline along the Caspian sea, Black sea, sea of okhotsk, Pacific ocean, Baltic sea and several other seas and oceans.
