This journal focuses on marine science research in South Africa and Namibia, with a particular emphasis on fisheries management, marine species, and conservation. Articles explore the socio-ecological aspects of recreational and small-scale fisheries, the genetic structure of fish populations influenced by oceanographic features, movement patterns of key fish species, and the application of conservation measures in marine and estuarine environments.
Based on the Think.Check.Submit framework by DOAJ, COPE & OASPA. All data from verified open sources.
