Physical, Chemical, and Biological Quality of the Water in Marine and Brackish Environments

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on Marine, Transitional, and Brackish Environments. It aims to collect papers and studies concerning the chemical–physical and biological quality of the waters of these environments, especially those poorly studied, also but not only linked to pollution and the constant and impressive presence of plastics, microplastics, and other new polluting materials (e.g., masks, gloves) which have increased significantly in this last period (marine litter). Knowing the quality of water in transition and coastal areas is also a useful and highly supportive tool for the production of plant or animal organisms, to support fishing, especially in a period of overfishing and overexploitation of natural resources.

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.
