FOCUS OF THIS SPECIAL ISSUE
Anthropocene Coasts, an open access journal, publishes multidisciplinary research that aims to understand and predict the effects of human activities, including climate change, on estuarine and coastal regions. For more information about aims and scope of Anthropocene Coasts, please refer to https://springerlink.bibliotecabuap.elogim.com/journal/44218/aims-and-scope.
The coastlines and coastal communities of the Global South are experiencing multiple inter-connected challenges. They are subject to the compounding impacts of climate change, natural resource depletion, and population growth, which collectively threaten their sustainability. Understanding what constitutes good governance for these environments and the populations they support, as well as the data and knowledge needed to underpin such good governance, is critical to their future. This special collection is supported by the Resilient Lagoon Network and provides case studies, practices, solutions and ideas relevant to coastal governance from across the Global South. 

For this Special Collection, Anthropocene Coasts invites manuscripts of all aspects of coastal governance and management in the Global South including but not limited to: coastal policy, governance for sustainable development, resource management, managing climate change (adaptation and mitigation), human-centred and community led governance, strategies for sustainable coastal livelihoods, health and wellbeing, and studies generating primary data that can inform coastal management.

Anthropocene Coasts is especially interested in studies that bridge basic theoretical research and management sciences. We encourage submissions from the Global South.
Update Milestones:
