The publication does not require contributors to be scientists, but it does demand rigorous research and a commitment to explaining complex topics accessibly. The magazine is particularly interested in stories about new research on topical issues or that shed new light on old problems, as well as those that explain the science behind threats to species or their habitats. This is a venue for writers who can bridge the gap between scientific inquiry and public discourse, making intricate coastal science engaging and comprehensible. With a rolling deadline and no submission fee, Coastal Review offers an open and ongoing opportunity for writers to contribute to a vital conversation about coastal environments.
