The Journal of Coastal Conservation focuses on the assessment and management of coastal environments. It examines the impacts of natural and anthropogenic pressures, including toxic metal contamination in sediments, sea-level rise, and storm intensification on coastal areas and protected lands. The journal also addresses conflicts between extractive industries and marine conservation, and evaluates vulnerability and adaptation strategies in coastal cities and communities, with an emphasis on participatory methodologies.
