A special issue of Water (ISSN 2073-4441). This special issue belongs to the section "Oceans and Coastal Zones".

This Special Issue aims at the promotion of a multidisciplinary approach to evaluate the quality of aquatic ecosystems, with a particular focus on the transitional environments where marine and terrestrial habitats interlink. Research/review papers jointly dealing with coastal oceanography, hydrogeology, biogeochemistry and marine ecology are of interest, although studies on surface waters (rivers, lakes, etc.) in coastal regions are also welcomed. 

Deadline for manuscript submissions: 31 March 2021
