About the Journal

MABIC is dedicated to exploring marine biodiversity, its changes, impacts, and conservation strategies. The journal's scope includes but not limit to the following topics:

  1. Marine Biodiversity and Dynamics:
  • Taxonomy, genetic diversity, and studies of endemic and endangered species.
  • Shifts in species distribution, population dynamics, and effects of habitat fragmentation.
  1. Ecosystem Functions and Services:
  • Research on key marine ecosystems like coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrasses.
  • Ecosystem-based management and conservation planning.
  1. Threats to Marine Biodiversity:
  • Impacts of overfishing, bycatch, habitat destruction, pollution, and invasive species.
  • Effects of climate change, including rising sea temperatures, ocean acidification, and sea level changes.
  1. Conservation Strategies and Solutions:
  • Effectiveness of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), habitat restoration, and sustainable resource use.
  • Innovative conservation policies and practices.
  1. Innovative Technologies and Methodologies in Marine Research:
  • Advances in research methodologies and data collection technologies, including remote sensing, GIS applications, and citizen science.
  • Surveys, censuses, and mapping of marine species and habitats.
  • Statistical methods and innovative approaches in marine ecology.
  1. Emerging Issues and Trends:
  • New and emerging threats to marine biodiversity.
  • Advances in understanding the ecological roles of lesser-known species.
  • Emerging challenges and trends in marine conservation.
  1. Human Impacts and Socio-ecologic Aspects:
  • The impact of human activities on marine ecosystems and biodiversity.
  • Sustainable use of marine resources and public awareness on marine conservation.
  1. Case Studies and Practical Applications:
  • Specific case studies of species, habitats, or regions, and their practical implications for conservation and habitat restoration.
  1. Extreme Marine Ecosystems and organisms’ adaptation
  • Deep-sea ecosystems
  • Chemosynthetic ecosystems
  • Polar ecosystems
  • Other extreme habitats and ecosystems
