Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Serious erosion problems related to significant negative sediment budgets in the coastal systems are encountered worldwide. Artificial nourishments are a coastal erosion mitigation strategy that allow for a decrease in negative budgets by adding sediment to the coastal system. However, due to the complexity of coastal processes, sediment dynamics after intervention present difficult evaluations. Research on improving the understanding of these complex processes was presented in the first edition of the Special Issue dedicated to Sediment Dynamics in Artificial Nourishments. The Special Issue received very positive reactions, confirming the relevance of the theme, ending with twelve manuscripts published.
Following this, it is important to continue to disseminate the most updated scientific knowledge on understanding the sediment dynamics processes after artificial nourishments. In accordance, this new edition of the Special Issue accepts significant research on cross-shore and longshore nourished sediments distribution, turbulence and suspended sediments perturbations, biological impacts, monitoring works and sand tracing, shoreline evolution impacts after nourishments, longevity of the nourishments, and artificial nourishment interaction with other coastal structures or nature-based solutions. This new edition Special Issue aims to reinforce the importance of the research developed in understanding sediment dynamic processes related to artificial nourishments.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
