Sustaining Life Below Water: Conserving, managing, and protecting our marine and freshwater resources
- Submission status
- Open
- Open for submission from
- 09 September 2022
- Submission deadline
- Ongoing
Plastic waste, overfishing, ocean acidification, increasing eutrophication are some of the major threats endangering our oceans, rivers and lakes. With this collection we aim to create a cross-disciplinary home for research articles, perspectives, and emerging topics addressing the conservation and sustainability of the use of our marine and freshwater resources. By putting scholarship supporting this UN Goal in the spotlight we hope to increase the scientific knowledge and awareness of the targets and indicators set by the UN Goal such as reducing marine pollution, strengthening resilience, restoring coastal ecosystems, minimizing the impacts of ocean acidification, reducing destructive fishing practices, providing access for small-scale fishers to marine resources and markets and more.
We call for submissions on (but not limited to) the following topics:
•Biotelemetry and bio-logging
•Dam removal policy and development
•Economic benefits to Small Island developing States and least developed countries through sustainable management of fisheries, aquaculture and tourism
•Effects of reef degradation on ecosystem goods and services
•Environmental DNA and RNA
•Environmental flows
•Fish migration and passage
•Fisheries-induced evolution
•Floodplain management
•Hydropower mitigation
•Links between reef health and human health
•Methods and case studies and their scientific assessment, to manage, protect, and restore wetlands, to prevent and significantly reduce wetland pollution, in particular from land-based activities, including sedimentation from poor land-use, plastic and nutrient pollution
•Physiology and health of wild fish
•Preventing and reducing (plastic) pollution/waste in particular from land-based activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution
•Policy development in river and lake management
•Reducing/minimizing ocean acidification
•Regulating harvesting, ending of overfishing and destructive fishing practices, and science-based management plans to restore fish stocks
•Restoration goals in lake management River and lake restoration
•Strengthening resilience and restoration of coastal ecosystem Understanding and improving sustainable use of coral reef resources.
How to submit? Please use the Submit to this journal link from the participating journals. These journals can be viewed in the right menu. During submission you will be asked if you would like your article to be included in a Topical Collection.
