Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coastal and offshore environments represent a major challenge for the resilience and longevity of structures. The impacts of climate change will lead to increased environmental loading on structures, while the threat of extreme events such as tsunamis is prevalent in many parts of the world. This Special Issue will focus on the latest research and industry best practices related to the various aspects of structural resilience in the coastal and offshore context. Contributions are invited on relevant topics, such as numerical and physical modeling of wave–structure interactions, the use of artificial intelligence, monitoring and repair of existing coastal and offshore structures, and novel materials and components for improved durability and performance.

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.
