Frontiers in Marine Science publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research that advances our understanding of all aspects of the environment, biology, ecosystem functioning and human interactions with the oceans. Field Chief Editor Carlos M. Duarte at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology Thuwal is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, policy makers and the public worldwide.

With the human population predicted to reach 9 billion people by 2050, it is clear that traditional land resources will not suffice to meet the demand for food or energy, required to support high-quality livelihoods. As a result, the oceans are emerging as a source of untapped assets, with new innovative industries, such as aquaculture, marine biotechnology, marine energy and deep-sea mining growing rapidly under a new era characterized by rapid growth of a blue, ocean-based economy. The sustainability of the blue economy is closely dependent on our knowledge about how to mitigate the impacts of the multiple pressures on the ocean ecosystem associated with the increased scale and diversification of industry operations in the ocean and global human pressures on the environment. Therefore, Frontiers in Marine Science particularly welcomes the communication of research outcomes addressing ocean-based solutions for the emerging challenges, including improved forecasting and observational capacities, understanding biodiversity and ecosystem problems, locally and globally, effective management strategies to maintain ocean health, and an improved capacity to sustainably derive resources from the oceans.

《海洋科学前沿》发表经过严格同行评审的研究，促进我们对环境、生物、生态系统功能和人类与海洋相互作用等各方面的理解。阿卜杜拉国王科技大学 Thuwal 的领域主编 Carlos M. Duarte 得到了由国际研究人员组成的杰出编辑委员会的支持。这本多学科开放获取期刊处于向全球研究人员、学者、政策制定者和公众传播和交流科学知识和有影响力的发现的前沿。

预计到 2050 年，人类人口将达到 90 亿，显然传统的陆地资源不足以满足维持高质量生计所需的食物或能源需求。因此，海洋正在成为尚未开发资产的来源，在以蓝色海洋经济快速增长为特征的新时代，水产养殖、海洋生物技术、海洋能源和深海采矿等新兴创新产业正在迅速发展。蓝色经济的可持续性与我们如何减轻海洋生态系统受到的多重压力（这些压力与海洋工业运营规模和多样性的增加以及全球人类对环境的压力有关）密切相关。因此，《海洋科学前沿》特别欢迎交流针对新兴挑战的海洋解决方案的研究成果，包括提高预报和观测能力、了解当地和全球的生物多样性和生态系统问题、维护海洋健康的有效管理策略，以及提高可持续地从海洋中获取资源的能力。
