Over 500 external peer reviewers from 52 different countries have generously donated their time to the Journal of Coastal Research (JCR) to conduct the thorough evaluation of manuscripts. This review process includes providing comments and recommendations to the Editor-in-Chief concerning the ultimate disposition of submitted materials to the JCR. We acknowledge with great appreciation the following reviewers who have served as specialists outside of our own JCR Editorial Board and truly thank them for all their support.
