Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The coastal zone is a dynamic and changing environment. It hosts various activities, but at the same time, it is an area of unique natural importance, with significant natural habitats. Due to their abundant resources, coasts experience denser population concentrations compared to inland regions, leading to elevated rates of population growth and urbanization. At the same time, natural processes over larger time scales have shaped the current coastal landscape. Today, the coastal zone faces different challenges deriving from climate change, human activities, and changes in sediment supply. To preserve and protect these valuable coastal environments, different approaches are needed. This Special Issue welcomes studies that deal with the abovementioned topics. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following areas:
- Coastal erosion;
- Coastal hazards;
- Human impacts on the coastal zone;
- Climate change and coastal zone;
- Sea level rise impacts;
- Protection measures for the coastal zone;
- Monitoring techniques in the coastal zone;
- Innovative adaptation approaches;
- Nature-based solutions for the coastal zone.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
