岛屿国家（或地区）面临跨界污染的风险，这威胁到物种、沿海资源、栖息地和生计，可能导致经济和粮食安全挑战。被海洋包围的岛屿国家在管理跨界影响方面面临困难，这加剧了它们应对各种污染的脆弱性。跨界污染产生于不受控制的城市和工业增长、河流流域干扰以及其它人类活动。有必要在全球范围内努力发现污染物跨界流动的潜在来源和规模，使各国政府能够执行强有力的双边和多边条约。《海岛与海洋研究杂志》拟就相关议题设立特刊，欢迎投稿。

Call for papers for a special issue of the Journal of Island and Marine Studies on ‘Vulnerability of islands to transboundary pollution’

Island countries (or regions) face the risk of transboundary contamination, which threatens species, coastal resources, habitats, and livelihoods, potentially leading to economic and food insecurity. Surrounded by the ocean, island countries confront difficulties regulating transboundary effects, which increases their vulnerability to a variety of pollutants. Transboundary pollution arises from uncontrolled urban and industrial growth, riverine and watershed disturbances, and other human activities such as mining, forestry, agriculture, and coastal development, affecting adjacent areas. There is a need for a global effort to discover potential sources and magnitudes of transboundary flow of pollutants, allowing governments to implement robust co-lateral and multilateral treaties.

In line with this theme, we welcome submissions on the following topics:

·Transboundary pollution and coastal resource use

·Coastal biodiversity in the face of looming transboundary pollution: current status and prospects

·Transboundary aspects of river water pollution

·National efforts to manage pollution across borders: principles, policy and practice

·International coordination and collaboration in counteracting transboundary pollution

·Environmental law and transboundary pollution

·Enforcement of global policies to protect coastal communities

This special issue will be published in the Journal of Island and Marine Studies (JIMS) (http://islandandmarinestudies.press/ ), but individual papers will be published online once they complete the peer review and editorial process. JIMS is a web-based, freely downloadable, open access, peer reviewed journal that publishes papers advancing and critiquing the study of issues affecting or involving islands and seas.

For further information or if you are interested in submitting a paper, contact the special issue co-editors (see below for contact emails). Manus should be between 5,000 and 15,000 words and must be prepared in accordance with theJIMS submission guidelines: http://islandandmarinestudies.press/guidelines-for-authors/ .

Submissions of manus will follow the following two steps: 1) all authors are requested to submit directly to guest editors. The guest editors will provide feedback, ask for revisions if necessary, and reject or recommend formal submission toJIMS; 2) articles recommended by guest editors are formally submitted to JIMS and undergo JIMS’s double-blind reviewing process. This will ensure articles submitted to JIMS have a higher acceptance rate.

All papers will be subject to double-blind peer review. Articles should be submitted electronically to ***jims.editoralboard@gmail.com *** and include four major sections: the cover letter, author biography, title page, structured abstract, research manu, references etc. The title page should contain the title of the paper, the author(s) name, the institutional affiliation and keywords. Manus should follow the JIMS style guide available on our website.

Finally, authors should make sure to enter the name of the special section ‘islands and digital transformations’ in the appropriate place in the submission form.
