Estuaries and Coasts is the journal of the Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation (CERF). Begun in 1977 as Chesapeake Science| the journal has gradually expanded its scope and circulation. Today| the journal publishes scholarly manuscripts on estuarine and near coastal ecosystems at the interface between the land and the sea where there are tidal fluctuations or sea water is diluted by fresh water. The interface is broadly defined to include estuaries and nearshore coastal waters including lagoons| wetlands| tidal fresh water| shores and beaches| but not the continental shelf. The journal covers research on physical| chemical| geological or biological processes| as well as applications to management of estuaries and coasts. The journal publishes original research findings| reviews and perspectives| techniques| comments| and management applications. Estuaries and Coasts will consider properly carried out studies that present inconclusive findings or document a failed replication of previously published work. Submissions that are primarily descriptive| strongly place-based| or only report on development of models or new methods without detailing their applications fall outside the scope of the journal.
