Special Issue on Coastal Resources and Conservation

The coastal zone is essential to marine life and supports a large part of the world's living marine resources, certainly more than the open sea. Its wetlands, lagoons, seagrass beds, coral reefs and shallow bays are nursery or feeding areas for most coastal and many oceanic species. This zone has the highest biological diversity of any part of the sea. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in this area of Coastal Resources and Conservation.

In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles that explore Coastal Resources and Conservation. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Coastal Marine environmental dynamics and disaster research
• Coastal marine environment monitoring and information technology
• Development, management and sustainable development of coastal resources
• Coastal buildings and natural environment
• Utilization and protection of estuarine and coastal wetlands
• Coastal resources management
• Coastal tourism and Industrial development
• Coastal ecology, conservation, sustainability and management
