Abstract
The Journal of Ocean and Coastal Economics publishes research, literature reviews, and application reports that use the theories and methods of economics to shape the understanding of oceans and their resources, and coastal regions. The Journal is intended for a broad audience of scholars and practitioners in economics and ocean and coastal management. "Oceans" includes the major oceans, bays, and estuaries, but other definitions may be proposed. Articles addressing both economic values and the measurement of economic activity in "ocean industries" are included, along with articles addressing the economy of coastal regions. The Journal uses an open peer review system and Web-based technologies to encourage and open and active community of researchers.

Highlights
Welcome to the inaugural issue of the Journal of Ocean and Coastal Economics
The problems of identifying technologies with marine applications are another area that requires development, as well as the subset of sustainable ocean industries that are being promoted under various names such as the “New Blue Economy” or “Blue Growth” (European Union 2015)
Underlying the study of ocean and coastal economics is the desire to better understand the nature of coupled socio-ecological systems
Summary
Welcome to the inaugural issue of the Journal of Ocean and Coastal Economics This introduction lays out the purpose and goals of the Journal as a guide to what we hope to accomplish. The reduced barriers to entry raise issues about the proliferation of journals and possible dilution of quality. Those who propose to start a new journal should build on existing intellectual traditions but must have a distinct purpose and the intention to serve a demonstrated need.
