Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine environments are critical to the planet's health and human well-being, yet their vastness and complexity present unique challenges for monitoring and management. Advanced sensor technologies have become indispensable tools for observing and understanding marine ecosystems, detecting environmental changes, and supporting sustainable ocean development.
This Special Issue, entitled "Applications of Sensors in Marine Observation", aims to explore innovative developments and applications of sensors in the marine domain. We seek to highlight how these technologies are being used to monitor oceanographic parameters, assess marine biodiversity, support sustainable resource management, and address emerging challenges in marine science and engineering.
We invite submissions of original research papers, review articles, and brief communications that showcase advancements in sensor design, novel methodologies for data acquisition and analysis, and applications of sensors in diverse marine environments. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Development of innovative sensors for oceanographic measurements.
- Integration of sensor technologies into autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), and other marine platforms.
- Real-time monitoring solutions for coastal, oceanic, and deep sea environments.
- Case studies demonstrating the use of sensors for marine resource management and environmental monitoring.
- Challenges and opportunities in deploying sensors in extreme marine conditions.
We look forward to receiving your contributions that will advance our understanding and sustainable management of the marine environment through sensor technologies.

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.
