Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In a world in which the use of fossil energetic resources seems to be in conflict with a sustainable way of living in almost every sense, the dynamics involved in our oceans can be regarded as an inexhaustible source of clean energy. The challenge is now to improve the guidelines leading to a better design and deployment of energy converters and to efficiently use that resource. To cope with that, we need to make an effort to bridge the gaps concerning low efficiency, make easy the design and deployment of prototypes, and manage the maintenance and replacement of, and impacts on, coastal areas. Indeed, rather than a question of durability or maximum efficiency, it is a matter of appropriately fixing the expected values of efficiency and production, and then adapting design, materials, deployment, and maintenance according to those predictions such that the net balance is positive.

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.
