CALL FOR PAPERS
A Special Theme Issue of the journal, Coastal Management:
"Making the Connection: Translating Science into Effective Coastal Policy"
The Coastal Society's TCS 22 Conference (June 13-16, 2010) in Wilmington, North Carolina, will explore the issues involved in translating scientific knowledge and perspectives into effective coastal management policies and practices in its Closing Plenary session. To more fully develop this theme, The Coastal Society invites submission of full-length manuscripts for publication in a special, theme issue of the journal, Coastal Management, a peer-reviewed international journal devoted to exploring all aspects of coastal management. Papers addressing all aspects of the application of scientific knowledge and perspectives to coastal management policy and practice at local, regional, national, and/or international scales are welcome. All submissions will go through standard double blind peer review. The theme issue is scheduled to be published in early 2011 and is likely to receive special publicity coverage by Taylor and Francis, which should help raise the profile of theme issue papers. Submissions should follow the format specified by Coastal Management in "Instructions to Authors" (http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/tf/08920753.html).
Questions and submissions may be directed to theme issue Guest Editors:
Lawrence Cahoon, Professor of Biology and Marine Biology,
University of North Carolina Wilmington, Wilmington, NC 28403 (Cahoon@uncw.edu), and
Christopher Dumas, Professor of Economics,
University of North Carolina Wilmington, Wilmington, NC 28403 (DumasC@uncw.edu).
Please notify one of the guest editors of your intent to submit. Full submissions are requested by Sept. 15, 2010.
