HISTORY OF THE JOURNAL
ESTUARIES and COASTS is the
journal of the Estuarine Research Federation, a non-profit professional society
whose purpose is to promote research in estuarine and coastal waters, to promote
communication between members and affiliated societies through newsletters and
journals, to conduct meetings, and to be available as a source of advice
concerning estuaries and the coastal zone.
The journal traces its origin to the
late Dr. Romeo J. Mansueti, who conceived and nurtured it as CHESAPEAKE SCIENCE,
a journal devoted to presenting research results and management studies on
natural resources of the Chesapeake Bay region. CHESAPEAKE SCIENCE was published
and partially subsidized by the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory during its 18
year history. In 1977, the journal was acquired by the Estuarine Research
Federation and in 1978 renamed it ESTUARIES. Since then the journal has gained an international
distribution and content. In 1987 the quarterly journal began publication in a
larger 8.5 x 11 inch page format. In 1999, ESTUARIES became available to ERF
members online, and in 2000 a CD-ROM set of all back issues of CHESAPEAKE
SCIENCE and ESTUARIES was produced. In 2000, ESTUARIES also began publication on a
bimonthly schedule. In 2006, the journal was renamed ESTUARIES and COASTS to better represent its content. The cover design was also changed; current issues can be viewed on the journal's main page.
ESTUARIES and COASTS is now published by Springer.
