Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research on the acoustic ecology of marine mammals is ever growing. It is imperative that we gain a greater understanding of their acoustic ecology given the many threats that they face in our coastal and offshore waters, especially now as we navigate such challenging and changing times. Examples of these threats include increasing noise from vessel activity and, in some areas, noise and displacement due to renewable energy developments. The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish a recent collection of papers dealing with advances in research focused on the acoustic ecology of marine mammals.
High-quality papers related to various aspects are encouraged for publication directly, as mentioned below. Novel techniques for the study are encouraged.
- Topics—acoustic ecology of marine mammals
- Acoustic behaviour
- Effects of noise
- Threats to their acoustic ecology
- Case studies
- Monitoring techniques
- Modelling

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.
