Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coastal systems are important transition zones connecting ocean and land, from where they make contact with a large number of particulate and dissolved materials (e.g., sediments, nutrients, and organic matter). These systems support productive ecosystems and high biological diversity, providing valuable ecosystem services, including salinity intrusion, nutrient recycling, natural conditions for aquaculture, nursery, and the removal of pollutants. However, coastal systems are among the areas most threatened by anthropogenic pressures, since they host large and growing populations, and also suffer from the substantial deterioration of marine water quality. Thus, an understanding of hydrodynamic behaviors, varied water properties, and water quality is necessary to develop suitable management practices.
This Special Issue seeks to collate a set of publications that enable an advanced understanding of hydrodynamics and water quality in coastal systems (tidal propagation, salinity intrusion, nutrients, eutrophication, harmful algal blooms, hypoxia, trace metals, acidification, etc.), taking advantage of numerical modeling and observations. Methods and results on hydrodynamic/water quality variability for present and future climates are welcome. We thus invite researchers to submit research articles, reviews, and case studies.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
