Whilst there is little argument that coasts are on the frontline when it comes to the impacts of near-future global environmental change, is there a need for yet another coastal journal? Emphatically ‘yes’. There is an unfilled niche here for a forum that promotes and presents cross-disciplinary research, from fundamental science to impact-orientated approaches. We wish to see a journal that informs pathways away from unsustainable practices towards more socially just and equitable futures for the world’s coastlines and their communities. We set out below some of the questions that arise when articulating this pathway, using the high-level categories in the journal’s topic map as some of the stepping stones that will be encountered along the way.
