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.
