Revista Ciencias Marinas y Costeras

Aims & Scope

The National University of Costa Rica has a history of almost 30 years in the field of Marine Sciences, producing scientific documents, but with limited options for projecting knowledge in the marine field.

In response to the need to offer national and international researchers a space for high-level scientific dissemination, annual publication and broad vision, the creation of the Journal of Marine and Coastal Sciences (REVMAR).

The purpose of this journal is to incorporate original publications related to marine sciences, such as: biology, geology and marine ecology, evolution, systematics and taxonomy of marine organisms, oceanography, pollution, fisheries, mariculture, marine biotechnology, conservation and integrated management of marine and coastal resources.

REVMAR will be made available in printed form annually, with a corresponding digital version on its website, developed appropriately for this purpose.

The Review has an Editorial Committee made up of researchers from different Latin American institutions, who have great intellectual prestige in the field of marine and coastal sciences and are responsible for ensuring the scientific quality of the papers published.
