Welcome from the Chair
Dear Marine Science and Engineering Community,
It is my privilege to welcome you to the 1st International Online Conference on Marine Science and Engineering: Current State and Future Trends (IOCMSE 2025). Organized by the MDPI Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, this three-day virtual event will take place from 24-26 November 2025.
This conference aims to unite experts, researchers, and practitioners worldwide to exchange innovative ideas and address the pressing challenges facing marine science and engineering today. As the oceans are integral to global sustainability, research in this field is more critical than ever. We look forward to your contributions to advancing the understanding and sustainable management of marine systems.
Marine science and engineering encompass a diverse range of disciplines, reflecting the complexity and interconnectedness of oceanic systems. IOCMSE 2025 will feature sessions on key topics, including:
A. Ocean Engineering;
B. Coastal Engineering;
C. Physical Oceanography;
D. Geological Oceanography;
E. Chemical Oceanography;
F. Marine Biology;
G. Marine Environmental Science.
Join us at IOCMSE 2025 to exchange ideas, gain valuable insights, and collaborate in advancing marine science and engineering. We warmly invite you to submit abstracts and full manuscripts that showcase advanced research or practical innovations in these fields. Together, let us navigate toward a more sustainable and resilient future.
Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Charitha Pattiaratchi

Event Chairs
Charitha Pattiaratchi is a Professor in Coastal Oceanography at the University of Western Australia (UWA). He obtained his BSc, MSc and PhD in oceanography at University of Wales (Swansea). He has been at UWA since 1988 and currently is the leader of the Coastal Oceanography Group and The Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) ocean glider facility. His research encompass coastal ocean physical processes and their influence on climatic, biological, and geological processes in estuaries, the nearshore (beach) zone, and the continental shelf region. He uses field measurements, remote sensing, and computer modelling for his research. He is the Chief Editor of Journal of Marine Science and Engineering.
Registration
The registration for IOCMSE 2025 will be free of charge! The registration includes attendance to all conference sessions.
If you are registering several people under the same registration, please do not use the same email address for each person, but their individual university email addresses. Thank you for your understanding.

It is the authors' responsibility to identify and declare any personal circumstances or interests that may be perceived as inappropriately influencing the representation or interpretation of clinical research. If there is no conflict, please state "The authors declare no conflicts of interest." This should be conveyed in a separate "Conflict of Interest" statement preceding the "Acknowledgments" and "References" sections at the end of the manuscript. Any financial support for the study must be fully disclosed in the "Acknowledgments" section.
MDPI, the publisher of the Sciforum.net platform, is an open access publisher. We believe authors should retain the copyright to their scholarly works. Hence, by submitting an abstract to this conference, you retain the copyright to the work, but you grant MDPI the non-exclusive right to publish this abstract online on the Sciforum.net platform. This means you can easily submit your full paper (with the abstract) to any scientific journal at a later stage and transfer the copyright to its publisher if required.
Publication Opportunity
