Abbreviation : J. Ocean Coast. Econ.
Aims & Scope
The Journal of Ocean and Coastal Economics publishes research related to the theory and practice of applying economic perspectives to the understanding of ocean and coastal resources and to coastal areas as economic regions.
The geographic focus of the journal is the global ocean and major bodies of fresh water (such as the North American Great Lakes) that serve the same economic function as the oceans and seas.
The Journal publishes papers related to the history, trends, and projections of economic activity in coastal geographies and industries, the non-market valuation of ocean and coastal resources, and the unique socioeconomic characteristics of coastal regions and how these are impacted by both natural processes and human activity.
The Journal publishes three types of papers: -Full-length articles reporting research that advances the theory and methods of measuring economic values and economic activity related to ocean resources and coastal regions. -Application Reports are short papers that report on the results of applied economics studies of ocean and coastal resources that add to the store of economic estimates of values and economic activity.
These shorter articles will focus on describing the factors that influence levels and changes in economic values and activities. -Review Articles are of two types: (i) Case studies of how improved understanding of the economics of coastal and ocean resources and areas have influenced decisions concerning resource management decisions by businesses and resource owners; (ii) Summaries and Assessments of economic research or analyses of ocean and coastal issues, wherever published, on a particular topic or resource.
