Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coastal regions face evolving challenges due to natural processes and human activities. The interaction of waves, currents, tides, and coastal structures requires a solid understanding of hydrodynamic processes to design effective protection strategies and promote sustainable coastal management.
This Special Issue, “Coastal Hydrodynamics, Conservation and Restoration: Numerical Investigation, Experimental Research and Technical Application,” aims at collecting high-quality contributions that advance knowledge and practice in Coastal Hydrodynamics. Combining different approaches, from computational modeling and laboratory experiments to field applications, this collection seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advancements.
The goal of this Special Issue is to encourage a deeper understanding of coastal processes and promote the development of innovative, resilient and sustainable solutions for the protection of coastal environments and communities worldwide, offering new insights, methodologies, and case studies that can support effective coastal engineering practices.
We welcome studies presenting new methodologies, insights, and case studies that can inform effective coastal engineering practices (e.g., numerical simulations addressing nearshore hydrodynamics and coastal processes; experimental research validating theoretical models and informing engineering design; technical applications that transfer research outcomes into practical solutions).

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
