The article dwells on research of the Family Parmeliacea and a database of raw collection places of the studied areas is developed, aimed at the development of new innovative production. Family Parmeliaceae is one of dominating families of the Volga Delta, including 16 kinds of lichens and the representatives of this family mainly possess medical properties. On the basis of the carried out researches of family Parmeliacea, innovative products phito tea "Parmelin" and “Immunomodulatory Sugar Candies”, with use of Parmelia vagans (Xanthoparmelia camtschadalis) lichen, which is native to the local ecosystem of the Astrakhan Region and included in the official pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation as a medical herb. During the research the following methods were employed: calculation of bioresources by standard geobotanical techniques; development of modeling sites; finding non-polluted routes; studying of criteria and parameters of the lichen condition as indicators of the ecological state of the territory and biochemical sample researches. As a result, the production has been obtained within the framework of innovative activity.
