Ocean and Coastal Research

Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The journal publishes research on marine and coastal ecosystems, focusing on biological and environmental aspects. Studies investigate species populations, including growth patterns, mortality, and exploitation, as well as the physiological traits of coastal vegetation like mangroves. The scope also encompasses the impacts of human activities, such as fishing gear on sea turtles, microplastic pollution in various marine environments, and the effects of oil spills. Research includes the analysis of estuarine systems, water properties, and the use of geophysical methods for subsurface imaging. Aquaculture systems and the economic feasibility of marine resource utilization are also explored, alongside the study of parasitic fauna in commercially important fish species. Furthermore, the journal addresses coastal vulnerability, marine litter interception, and the application of remote sensing and citizen science in marine research.
