International Journal Of Coastal, Offshore And Environmental Engineering(ijcoe)

This Special Issue of the International Journal of Coastal, Offshore and Environmental Engineering focuses on the latest advancements in marine monitoring and ocean observation, which play a crucial role in understanding and managing the health of marine and coastal ecosystems. As global challenges such as climate change, ocean acidification, pollution, and biodiversity loss continue to impact the oceans, the need for effective monitoring and observation systems has never been more urgent.

Research in this field aims to provide critical insights into the status of marine ecosystems and inform sustainable management practices. This Special Issue will cover a broad range of topics, including but not limited to:

• Marine environmental monitoring and data collection techniques
• Remote sensing and satellite-based ocean observation
• Oceanographic models and forecasting tools
• Integrated coastal zone management (ICZM)
• Marine pollution monitoring (plastic, heavy metals, oil spills)
• Climate change and ocean acidification studies
• Ecosystem-based management approaches for marine conservation
• Technological advancements in marine sensors and autonomous platforms
• Data integration and decision-support systems for ocean policy
• Marine biodiversity monitoring and habitat mapping
• The role of monitoring in sustainable blue economy practices

By examining these key areas, the Special Issue aims to advance scientific understanding and foster innovative solutions to improve ocean health, support conservation efforts, and contribute to a sustainable blue economy.
