Aims and scope
Ocean Ecosystems publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed open access research in biological oceanography, advancing understanding of the complex systemic interplay between sea organisms and geology, chemistry and physics of oceans.
The importance of oceans as a pillar of Earth’s ecosystem cannot be emphasised enough. This journal aims to support and cultivate progress towards a global commitment to sea sustainability, by developing scientific knowledge in the factors influencing life in the oceans, including climate change, pollution, ocean acidification, and other adverse impacts, and the biology of oceans affecting the oceanographic system, in terms of geochemistry, sediments, and the atmosphere, among the others.
