《水路、港口、海岸和海洋工程雜志》向COPRI學科的專業工程和科學進展進行傳播。該雜志是一個強大的論壇土木工程學科有關海洋，沿海和河流水域，以及這些水域和鄰近的建筑和自然環境的相互作用。這一廣泛的范圍使該雜志成為出版和傳播涉及重要相關主題的檔案貢獻的理想選擇。主題包括疏浚、洪水、泥沙運輸、潮汐、風浪和風暴潮、海嘯、氣候變化、海平面上升、極端天氣事件和影響海岸線、水道、河口和港口的其他災害，以及減輕這些災害影響的努力。同樣重要的是開發和經營近海設施和海洋資源的利用，例如可再生能源和海洋采礦。出版物的類型包括原始期刊文章、綜合評論文章、簡短的技術說明、讀者特別感興趣的案例研究、書評和選定主題的特刊。

The Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering disseminates to the profession engineering and scientific advances made in the COPRI disciplines. The journal is a strong forum for civil engineering disciplines related to ocean, coastal and riverine waters as well as the interaction of these waters and the adjacent built and natural environments. This broad scope makes the Journal an ideal choice for the publication and dissemination of archival contributions dealing with important related topics. Topics include dredging, floods, sediment transport, tides, wind waves and storm surge, tsunamis, climate change, rising sea level, extreme weather events and other hazards that affect shorelines, waterways, estuaries, and ports and harbors, as well as efforts to mitigate the impact of such hazards. Of equal interest is the development and operation of offshore facilities and ocean resource utilization, such as renewable energy and ocean mining. Types of publications include original journal articles, comprehensive review articles, short technical notes, case studies of special interest to the readership, book reviews, and special issues on selected topics.
