《海洋研究雜志》是一份關于海洋研究的國際多學科期刊，其重點是沿海和陸架海洋生態系統的功能，包括潮間帶、河口和咸水環境。由于若干子學科增加了這一目標，歡迎來自海洋生物學、海洋化學、海洋沉積學和物理海洋學領域的手稿，只要它們有助于了解生態系統過程。

The Journal of Sea Research is an international and multidisciplinary periodical on marine research, with an emphasis on the functioning of marine ecosystems in coastal and shelf seas, including intertidal, estuarine and brackish environments. As several subdisciplines add to this aim, manuscripts are welcome from the fields of marine biology, marine chemistry, marine sedimentology and physical oceanography, provided they add to the understanding of ecosystem processes.
