The African Journal of Marine Science provides an international forum for the publication of original contributions in all disciplines of marine research. The scope covers from estuarine and coastal waters to the open ocean, and from chemical and physical to biological oceanography. Contributions from African waters, including the Southern Ocean, are particularly encouraged, although not to the exclusion of those from elsewhere. They may take the form of a paper, a critical review or a short communication. The journal also publishes proceedings of symposia and guest-edited suites on thematic topics in special issues. Formerly titled the South African Journal of Marine Science.
