Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coastal management is dedicated to exploring the technical, applied ecological, legal, political, social, and policy issues related to the use of coastal and ocean resources and environments on a global scale. The Special Issue invites timely information on management tools and techniques, as well as recent results of research and analysis that directly influence coastal management and policy. Results should be based on reviews of current literature and relevant studies, and articles should contain a clear and relevant management component. Preference will be given to studies of interest to an international audience, but case studies are acceptable if conclusions are derived from acceptable evaluation methods.
This Special Issue invites this type of research with a goal to have a joint vision of the advances in these fields that are usually scattered in highly specialized journals. The issue welcomes submissions on any sustainable coastal management research covering the following topics but not limited to:
- Coastal processes;
- Effects of model stability on sustainability;
- Definition and evaluation of sustainability indices in complex systems;
- Evaluation of the impact of global events on the sustainability of subsystems;
- Wave modeling;
- Sustainable development indicators and indices;
- Waste management;
- Integrated management of ocean and coastal areas;
- Coastal protection policies;
- Responses to accelerated sea level rise;
- Public access;
- Waterfront redevelopment;
- Public education and participation;
- Port management;
- Estuarine management;
- Marine protected areas.
