Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Estuaries and coastal zones have aquatic ecosystems with high biodiversity, but also under high anthropogenic pressure worldwide. The planning and management of transitional and coastal water bodies are essential to prevent their deterioration and increase the protection and quality of aquatic ecosystems, as well as those of the terrestrial areas and wetlands that directly depend on them.
In this regard, it is important to disseminate the most up-to-date scientific knowledge on water resource planning and management in transition and coastal areas. Thus, this Special Issue invites significant research on in situ and remote sensing monitoring (e.g., physical parameters, microplastics), pressure analysis and assessment methodologies, hydromorphology changes and impacts, risk degradation, assessment of climate change impact on water quality, water quality modeling, nature-based solutions and measures for water quality restauration and ecosystem improvement, and decision support systems.

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.
