Advances in Marine Research, Sustainable Oceans and Coastal Systems

About the Journal

Advances in Marine Research, Sustainable Oceans and Coastal Systems is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes research focused on the ecological, biological, chemical, physical, and socioeconomic dimensions of marine and coastal systems. The journal aims to provide a platform for oceanographers, marine ecologists, coastal engineers, policy analysts, and interdisciplinary researchers working toward sustainable solutions for marine environments.

Oceans and coastal systems face significant pressures from climate change, overfishing, coastal development, pollution, and habitat degradation. This journal welcomes work that contributes to understanding these challenges and provides evidence-based strategies for preserving the health and resilience of marine ecosystems.

We publish research that advances theoretical understanding, presents field-based observations, or evaluates applied techniques and interventions related to marine conservation, fisheries science, ocean technology, blue carbon ecosystems, and the management of coastal resources. Studies involving integrated coastal zone management, marine spatial planning, and socio-environmental assessments are particularly encouraged.

The journal also supports work on ocean-atmosphere interactions, marine biogeochemistry, coastal hydrodynamics, and modelling of marine systems. Manuscripts may focus on local, regional, or global contexts, and may include both modern scientific methodologies and traditional ecological knowledge.

Advances in Marine Research, Sustainable Oceans and Coastal Systems promotes discussion across academic disciplines and policy domains. It welcomes contributions from government, academic institutions, NGOs, and private-sector scientists committed to improving the management of the world’s oceans. Through open access, the journal facilitates global exchange of research and encourages collaboration toward the long-term stewardship of marine environments.
