Special Issue Information
Dear Colleauges,
Coastal regions of the world are inhabited by an estimated 40% of the global population. Intensification of weather events, changes in wave climates, and eustatic sea level rise associated with global climate change are resulting in populations, and the infrastructure that supports them, becoming increasingly vulnerable to storm-driven damage, erosion, and flooding. This Special Issue is intended to assemble recent significant scientific advances in the understanding of coastal morphologic response to, and recovery from, storms, as well as the forecasting of storm impacts, especially as they pertain to management, planning and decision-making. We encourage contributions that address topics of natural or human-influenced storm response and recovery along coasts of a wide range of geomorphic character including barrier islands, sandy beaches/shoreface, dunes, marsh, and mangrove coasts. Contributions can be based on field observations (including advancements in remote-sensing techniques), modeling, laboratory experiments, or a combination of methodologies.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
