Aims & Scope

Coastal Management is an international peer-reviewed, applied research journal dedicated to exploring the technical, applied ecological, legal, political, social, and policy issues relating to the use of coastal and ocean resources and environments on a global scale. The journal presents timely information on management tools and techniques as well as recent findings from research and analysis that bear directly on management and policy. Findings must be grounded in the current peer reviewed literature and relevant studies. Articles must contain a clear and relevant management component. Preference is given to studies of interest to an international readership, but case studies are accepted if conclusions are derived from acceptable evaluative methods, reference to comparable cases, and related to peer reviewed studies.
