On the territory of Saratov Region halophytic vegeta-tion occurs in small areas, mainly in the Left Volga Bank region. Present-day network of specially protected natu-ral territories of Saratov Region with landscapes with halophytic vegetation has been given insufficient atten-tion. The aim of the study is the characteristic of plants communities needing protection involving rare species-halophytes and justify the organization of nature sanc-tuary in the vicinity of the settlement of Shukeyev of Novouzensky area of Saratov Region. The object of the study are unique communities with halophytes varieties of Saratov Region protected and recommended for pro-tection. The researches were executed according to the generally accepted in phytocenology techniques. On the basis of conducted researches it is possible to recom-mend four halophytic plants communities for inclusion in the list of the phytocenoses needing protection on the territory of the area: ass. Aeluropus pungens, ass. Li-monium suffruticosum + Atriplex cana, ass. Limonium suffruticosum, ass. Halocnemum strobilaceum. The data on the composition, structure, distribution of these communities, recommended protection measures are provided in the study. All described communities relate to natural regional phytocenoses, regionally rare com-munities as edificatory-plants which are rare plants-halophytes species. Modern territorial data on unique vegetation protection in the region is missing. In this regard it possible to recommend the territory of the val-ley of river Gorkaya-1 in the vicinity of the village Shuk-eyev for the protection in the status of landscape and botanical nature sanctuary. Especially valuable objects are unique halophytic plants communities dominated by Halocnemum strobilaceum, Ofaiston monandrum, Atri-plex cana, Limonium suffruticosum, Aeluropus pungens, Frankenia hirsuta; cenopopulations of six protected species of plants and four species recommended for the first time for inclusion in the third edition of the regional Red Book (Aeluropus pungens, Halocnemum strobi-laceum, Atriplex cana, Senecio nojoanus).
