赫爾戈蘭島長期以來一直是歐洲海洋生物學的堡壘，進行著創新性和開創性的研究。Helgoland Marine Research利用這一卓越聲譽，在全球范圍內發表了關于海洋和咸水生態系統的最高質量論文。Helgoland歡迎以區域為重點、在全球范圍內具有影響和貢獻的論文，這些論文描述了物種之間的相互作用以及它們如何驅動海洋生態系統。該雜志由阿爾弗雷德·韋格納研究所、亥姆霍茲極地和海洋研究中心資助，因此作者無需支付論文處理費。

The island of Helgoland has long been a bastion of marine biology in Europe, producing innovative and ground-breaking research. Helgoland Marine Research applies this reputation for excellence to publish the highest quality papers in marine and brackish water ecosystems across the world. Helgoland welcomes papers that focus regionally, with implications on the global scale and contributions that describe species interactions and how they drive marine ecosystems.
