Estuaries and Coasts is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Springer Nature and the official journal of the Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation. It was established in 1960 as Chesapeake Science by Romeo J. Mansueti, covering research results and management studies on natural resources of the Chesapeake Bay region. In 1977, the journal was acquired by the Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation and in 1978 it was renamed Estuaries. It obtained its current name in 2006 (Vol. 29, Issue 1). Chesapeake Science was published and partially subsidized by the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory during its 18-year history. The co-editors-in-chief are Just Cebrian (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology), Paul Montagna (Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies at Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi), and Melisa Wong (Fisheries and Oceans Canada).
The journal has a 2024 impact factor of 2.3.
