Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In a world where seas and oceans are overexploited and constitute bins for solid and liquid waste, with all the harmful consequences on flora, fauna, and the quality of marine waters, it is urgent to publish and raise public awareness for the defense and protection of the marine environment. Marine biodiversity is essential for meeting the world's food needs. Climate change is increasingly present in the world through the frequency of droughts and floods. Oceans are mitigators of these climate changes, hence the importance of conserving the marine environment and its biodiversity. All coastal countries are threatened and are called upon to contribute to preserving their living natural marine resources and also fighting climate change. Today's world is not only aimed at production, but also at conservation and sustainable development. Indeed, according to UNESCO, it is the Decade of the Oceans 2020–2030.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.  

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Prof. Dr. Mustapha Aksissou
Guest Editor
