Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The coastal area is one of the important land–sea interface zones, which is quite sensitive to the perturbation by human activities and climate change. It is greatly affected by urbanization, rapid population growth, high industrial concentration, and natural changes. The coastal environment and ecology have led to highly undesirable ecosystem structure and function conditions. So, human-induced and natural changes affecting biodiversity, environmental change, mangroves, seagrasses, and coral reefs in estuarine and coastal ecosystems are major challenges for research and management. Recognizing these environmental issues and drafting relevant management policies are important for sustainable socio-economic development. Therefore, environmental problems and ecological responses such as harmful algal blooms (HABs), organic pollutants, microplastics, and heavy metal pollution will be explained by artificial intelligence, chemometrics, and multivariate statistical analysis.
This Special Issue aims to combine classical and innovative studies of methods and techniques for these problems. Artificial intelligence, such as data mining, multivariate statistical analysis, and chemometrics, emphasizes environmental and ecological problems.

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. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Environments is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
