Ocean & Coastal Management is an international journal published 12 times per year dedicated to the study of all aspects
of ocean and coastal management at international, national, regional, and local levels. Sustainable development and conservation of
ocean and coastal resources requires the insights of a number of disciplines ranging from the natural and physical sciences to the social
sciences, policy analysis, economics, and law. Articles from all relevant disciplines are invited, but all contributions must make clear
the explicit link to central improvement of management practice. The Editors encourage articles involving analytical approaches, development
of theory, and improvement of management practice. Comparative studies (e.g. subnational, crossnational, to other policy areas) are especially
encouraged, as are studies assessing current management approaches.
Examples of topics covered by the journal include, but are not
limited to, the following: •Interactions among various ocean and coastal uses; •Resolution of multiple-use conflicts; alternative
management regimes and institutional arrangements for integrated management of ocean and coastal areas; governance of resources and uses
in Exclusive Economic Zones; •Developments related to the Law of the Sea Convention and to the United Nations Conference on Environment
and Development (UNCED), and consideration of legal regimes for the conservation and development of ocean resources beyond the limits
of national jurisdiction; •Environmental impacts resulting from development of ocean and coastal areas; specific shoreline management
issues such as coast protection policies, accelerated sea level rise, public access, waterfront redevelopment, public education and participation,
port management, and marine protected areas; resource evaluation for such activities as aquaculture, commercial fisheries, offshore mining,
shipping and navigation; energy facilities; coast-dependent industries; marine parks; recreational development and conservation; •Physical
constraints and natural hazards affecting resource use and development; economic, political, and social constraints; technological solutions
to problems of resource demand and supply.
