Estuaries and Coasts – Journal of the Coastal and Estuarine Research
Federation Call for Papers for Special Issue on the Human Dimensions
of our Coasts
Humans are not separate from the ecosystem but are an integral, and
ever more influential part of it. Sustaining the benefits derived from
coastal ecosystems requires balancing human dimensions with continued
production of these services. These links are clearly demonstrated in
our estuarine and coastal environments where human induced reductions
in freshwater inflow, increased nutrient enrichment, and residential
and commercial development, to name just a few, pressure our natural
assets and, ultimately, our well-being.
For this special issue we are seeking papers that address broadly the
critical human dimensions and policy issues of our coasts and would
appeal to an international audience. Papers that have a
multidisciplinary approach are especially welcome.
