Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled “marine pollutants”, aims to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive view of hazardous substances, materials, and processes that can pose a risk to marine ecosystems and negatively affect the health and economy of communities living in coastal areas (i.e., fishing and tourism industry). All types of marine pollution will be considered: from planetary-scale issues, such as ocean acidification, warming, and eutrophication, to local-scale concerns, such as oil spills, chemical and biological contamination, and underwater noise. Submissions addressing plastic and microplastic in the marine environment are also welcome. The topics covered will span all aspects of marine pollution, including the occurrence, fate, and bio-ecological effects of marine pollutants; impacts on fishing and aquaculture; analytical methods and monitoring techniques; mitigation and remediation strategies; green technologies and the blue economy; and laws and policies. The target audience includes the entire scientific community, industry professionals, conservation groups, concerned citizens, and policymakers devoted to implementing effective pollution control strategies. We encourage you to submit your original research papers, short communications of preliminary results, review articles, or commentaries to this Special Issue to stimulate discussion and advance the field.
