Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To assess and adapt the impact of climate changes on coastal areas is one of the severe challenges in the 21st century. Risk assessments of coastal flooding hazards should be carried out to identify the role of different hazard sources and to enhance coastal resilience. Since everything in the natural world is connected, existing coastal engineering may need to be revisited and incorporate the influence as well as the response of the ecosystem, so as to maintain and improve the quality of life from economic, environmental and social viewpoints. Increased demand for energy and water resources will bring new instabilities. Perspectives on renewable energy and water recycling innovations and technologies are indeed of great importance. Continuous growth in the populations of coastal regions along with climate change and the desire for key resources indicate the need to advance the utilization and management of coastal areas. In the direction of sustainable development, this Special Issue aims to collect the latest knowledge on “Coastal Engineering and Sustainability”, focusing on topics including, but not limited to the following:
- Coastal engineering and ecosystems;
- Coastal resilience;
- Ecologically coastal engineering;
- Innovative coastal engineering;
- Integral coastal management and planning;
- Marine renewable energy;
- Coastal reservoirs;
- Socioeconomic and environmental risks in coastal and ocean engineering;
- Sustainable coastal environments;
- Utilization of coastal areas.

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 papers will be 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. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 1900 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.
