Scope
The field of marine conservation is under-represented in most conservation focused journals and we aim to fill this gap and raise awareness of the issues faced in the marine realm with the Marine Conservation and Sustainability section of Frontiers in Marine Science. The oceans contain the most diverse habitats on earth, and sustainable use of marine resources is a major issue for human food security. The challenge to maintain biodiversity, protect the habitats on which they rely and manage the sustainable extraction of these resources requires development of research and practice in this field. This section of Frontiers in Marine Science publishes articles on key issues for the conservation and sustainability of marine species, their habitats and ecosystems. In particular we recognise the importance of social science in conservation and welcome articles with either a biological or sociological focus or of an interdisciplinary nature. Articles may address all issues of marine conservation and sustainability such as the status of marine species or habitats of conservation concern, the impacts of anthropogenic activities on such species or habitats, methods to mitigate impacts or stressors and may be theoretical or applied. Articles must have relevance to the wider realm of marine conservation to enable us to move forward in this field. We welcome reports of conservation failures in addition to success stories!Indexed in: Scopus, DOAJ, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), Proquest ASFA: Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts

Marine Conservation and Sustainability welcomes submissions of the following article types: Brief Research Report, Correction, Data Report, Editorial, General Commentary, Hypothesis and Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Policy and Practice Reviews, Policy Brief, Review, Specialty Grand Challenge, Systematic Review and Technology and Code.
All manuscripts must be submitted directly to the section Marine Conservation and Sustainability, where they are peer-reviewed by the Associate and Review Editors of the specialty section.
Articles published in the section Marine Conservation and Sustainability will benefit from the Frontiers impact and tiering system after online publication. Authors of published original research with the highest impact, as judged democratically by the readers, will be invited by the Chief Editor to write a Frontiers Focused Review - a tier-climbing article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article impact analytics of original research published in all Frontiers specialty journals and sections. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it into a broader context, and aim to address the wider community across all of Marine Science.
