Thalassia Salentina è la rivista della Stazione di Biologia Marina di Porto Cesareo, fondata insieme con essa nel 1966. Le finalità di questo periodico sono state principalmente quelle di essere l'organo divulgativo delle attività della stazione e di pubblicare i risultati delle ricerche portate avanti in tutti i settori delle science del mare. Attualmente Thalassia Salentina si inquadra nel panorama editoriale scientifico nazionale, pubblicando lavori relativi all'area geografica del Salento, ma non solo, e coprendo ambiti biologici ed ecologici sia di ambiente terrestre che acquatico, marino e d'acqua dolce. La rivista nasce nel 1966 ed ha periodicità annuale. E' disponibile sia in versione cartacea sia in versione elettronica.
The journal aims at a large, multidisciplinary audience and is dedicated to rapidly publishing innovative results of field and laboratory experiments, new techniques and creative ideas and theoretical developments on all aspects of the ecology and conservation of river mouth ecosystems, lagoons, coastal lakes and brackish wetlands. Theoretical, analytical, experimental, empirical, historical, descriptive approaches are all included, from any field and organization level of interest in ecology (i.e., from ecophysiology and ecotoxicology to ecosystem and landscape ecology). Papers reporting ecological research on all varieties of organisms are welcome. Transitional Waters Bulletin also strongly encourages the submission of technical papers, reporting methodological innovations or new technical developments in the fields of more general interest. The journal provides a Forum in which all aspects of monitoring and conservation of transitional ecosystem health and of sustainable and adaptive management of the natural heritage of transitional landscapes, can be presented and discussed, including, also, historical and socio-ecological perspectives.. Short research or conceptual papers and letters that are well grounded in ecological theory and have broad implications for environmental policy and resource management are well suited for the publication in the Forum section.
