Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to invite contributions to a Special Issue on "Critical Issues in Ocean and Coastal Engineering". Ocean and coastal environments play a pivotal role in shaping our planet and are of paramount importance for both natural ecosystems and human societies. In recent years, the challenges faced in these areas have become increasingly complex and pressing due to factors such as climate change, rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and growing coastal populations.
This Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research and insights from experts in the field of ocean and coastal engineering. We seek to explore the most critical and contemporary issues facing coastal and marine environments, with a focus on innovative solutions, sustainable practices, and interdisciplinary approaches. We invite researchers, engineers, and scientists to contribute their original research, review articles, and case studies to foster a deeper understanding of these challenges and to pave the way for informed and effective strategies.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to:
- Coastal erosion and shoreline management;
- Sea-level rise adaptation and resilience;
- Coastal infrastructure and maintenance;
- Sustainable coastal development;
- Marine renewable energy systems;
- Coastal and ocean modelling;
- Innovative coastal and ocean engineering;
- Disaster risk reduction in coastal regions;
- Eco-engineering in coastal zones;
- Social and economic impacts of coastal engineering projects.
We encourage contributions that offer new perspectives, innovative methodologies, and practical insights into addressing the critical issues faced by ocean and coastal engineers today. Your work can contribute significantly to advancing our knowledge and facilitating the sustainable development and protection of these vital environments.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and fostering an enriching dialogue on the critical issues in ocean and coastal engineering. Together, we can strive for a more resilient, sustainable, and harmonious coexistence with our oceans and coastal regions.
We eagerly anticipate your valuable contributions to this Special Issue.

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. 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 2400 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.
