Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation

On behalf of the Federation’s Governing Board and Editors in Chief, we wish our authors and readers the best in 2008. A New Year brings resolutions and changes—even to scholarly journals. The changes in this issue have been in the planning stages for over a year, and they are numerous. Some are visible to the naked eye, some not. We draw your attention to these changes that are intended to significantly expand the influence of our journal.
