Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Harmful algal blooms (HABs), commonly known as red tides, have caused adverse impacts to marine environmental systems, ecologies and aquaculture industries. While most of the harmful impacts of HABs are caused by anoxia, a small portion of red tide causative organisms can produce toxins that are relevant to neurotoxic diseases, such as Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP), Diarrheic Shellfish Poisoning (DSP), and Anoxic Shellfish Poisoning (ASP). In addition to ecological, environmental science, oceanographical, biogeographical, cell biological, genomics, proteomics, and toxicological topics concerning HAB, recent research focuses on the mitigation, remediation, early-warning, forecasting, control and management, and ‘beneficial use’ of red tides. The possible impacts of global climate change on the formation and frequency of HABs have also been enthusiastically studied.

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.
