Marine Science and Environmental Research aims to advance understanding of marine and coastal systems through scientifically robust research that integrates fundamental and applied perspectives. The journal seeks to bridge fundamental and applied research by promoting studies that contribute to the assessment, conservation, restoration, and sustainable management of marine environments and resources. Through this interdisciplinary perspective, it promotes the exchange of knowledge across disciplines and regions while supporting science-based responses to emerging environmental challenges affecting marine and coastal ecosystems.
