Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As the energy and environment crises are accelerating, the smog and the deteriorating ecological environment have been gaining more and more attention. How to solve these crises has become the shared responsibility for all mankind. Today, conventional energy, such as coal and gas, is in severe shortage. Thus, marine renewable energy will become a pillar to human society in the 21st century, supporting sustainable development. It will also be one of the best solutions to climate change and conventional energy shortages.

Advantages such as regeneration, large reserves, and continuous and wide distribution make marine renewable energy (wind energy, wave energy, etc.) important in breaking the energy dilemma. These energies are mainly used in power generation and can also be widely used in seawater desalination, hydrogen production, etc., providing electricity for distant islands, lighthouse buoys, marine pastures, and island tourism. However, there are significant regional and seasonal differences in the resource distribution of marine renewable energy. Therefore, adequate knowledge of the resource characteristics is a prerequisite for the safe and efficient development of energy, which puts forward the demand for resource assessment. In addition, frequent marine disasters usually bring serious harm to marine development and construction. Therefore, fully mastering marine environment characteristics is a prerequisite for safe marine construction.

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.
