Our journal is known by experts in Europe, Japan, China, Korea, the United States, Australia, from time to time we receive their letters with questons, requests, gratitudes, etc. We were always trying to tell in informative and interesting way about various problems, related to the sea – marine history, marine geography, economics, policy, technics. As well, we have published several “special” or thematic issues about situation in Asia-Pacific region with our assessments, commentaries, reviews. Further on, we will try to continue to attract our readers with unique and interesting materials that you can find only in “Asia-Pacific Journal of Marine Science&Education”.
