Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coastal areas have been attractive settling grounds for the human population as they provided abundant marine resources, fertile agricultural land, and possibilities for trade and transport since early civilization. These advantages have led to high population densities and high levels of development in many coastal areas, and this trend is continuing into the 21st century. At present, about 1.2 billion people live in coastal areas globally, and this number is predicted to increase to 1.8–5.2 billion by the 2080s due to a combination of population growth and coastal migration. Along with this increase follows significant investments in infrastructure and the built environment. Coastal hazard management has become an increasingly important aspect of coastal planning to improve society's resilience to coastal hazards. Possible management options include complicated engineering structures, soft protection measures, various accommodation approaches, and a managed retreat from the coastline. It is also important to address coastal risks by early warning systems and emergency management plans to handle sudden and potential disastrous hazards, i.e., major flooding events.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering 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 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.
