Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce the launch of a new Special Issue focused on marine ecology. This Special Issue will contribute to the publication of high-quality research focused on all of the main aspects of marine ecology, including impacts of climate change and pollution on marine environments, marine invasive species, sustainability of marine resources, marine biodiversity, marine ecosystem services and functions, environmental quality and resilience of marine ecosystems, ecological restoration, and marine functional connectivity. Submissions of high-quality original research on all of the branches of marine ecology mentioned above, as well as other relevant topics, are welcome and encouraged.
