Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Analysis of marine and coastal systems is of fundamental importance to environmental scientists, engineers, and managers. Remote sensing has played an important role in characterizing the marine environment, with particular emphasis on sea surface features, temperature, and salinity; mapping of shorelines, wetlands, and coral reefs; local fisheries and species movements; tracking of hurricanes, earthquakes, and coastal flooding; and changes in coastal upwelling and marine productivity. Obviously, marine remote sensing is a broad field of study with a rich and expanding agenda. Today, with the rapid global urbanization, marine ecosystems are subject to a multitude of direct human pressures, such as overexploitation, eutrophication, pollution, and species introductions. Challenges imposed by human pressures and ocean dynamics, and the complex interactions of local, regional, and global processes continue to motivate new applications in marine environment remote sensing. This Special Issue aims to explore new solutions in remote-sensing-based marine environment monitoring and assessment. In this context, both general methodological contributions and case studies are welcome.

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 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. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Water 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 2600 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.
