About Zona Laut Journal
Zona Laut: Journal of Ocean Science and Technology Innovation is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by the Department of Ocean Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Hasanuddin University, Indonesia. The journal provides an academic platform for the dissemination of research, technological developments, and innovative ideas related to ocean science, marine technology, marine environmental sustainability, and sustainable ocean innovation.
Zona Laut promotes interdisciplinary research that connects scientific understanding of the ocean with emerging technologies and practical solutions for sustainable marine and coastal development. Research addressing tropical, archipelagic, and other marine environments is particularly encouraged, while studies with broader international relevance are equally welcomed.
Since its establishment, Zona Laut has evolved from a predominantly Indonesian-language scholarly publication into a journal with increasing international orientation. English is now used as the primary language of publication to strengthen international accessibility, scholarly communication, and the global visibility of published research. Zona Laut seeks to connect researchers, academics, professionals, institutions, and industries in advancing science and technology for sustainable oceans.
