Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change has become a major issue for all countries due to the severity of its impact on human life and natural resources. A major aspect of this is associated with increasing sea levels and their effects on coastal zones. Among others, some significant changes include increasing sea levels, temperatures and salinity. Global warming and the melting of ice and glaciers will continue to contribute to rising sea levels. The increase in oceanic temperature is a serious issue that has led to coral bleaching, the alteration of marine species distribution, and the disruption of ocean current circulation. Salinity has a profound effect on marine ecosystems, with changes in pH levels occurring and some species being unable to adapt to changes in salinity levels.
With the increase in the frequency of intensified cyclones and storm surges, coastal and wetland areas are undergoing significant changes. Hence, accurate and more reliable information is needed for better planning and risk management through mitigation and adaptation strategies. The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight the (i) the extent of the impact of sea level rises on coastal and wetland areas, (ii) assess the changes caused by natural disaters such as cyclones and storm surges in coastal environments, (ii) and devise climate risk management strategies to counter the projected trends regarding coastal inundation and wetland vegetation.

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. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
