THE SOUTHERN AFRICAN JOURNAL OF AQUATIC SCIENCES: “SOMETHING OLD…SOMETHING NEW”

Abstract

SUMMARY This Editorial examines the editorial policy and content of the Southern African Journal of Aquatic Sciences. Beginning with this issue, the former Journal of the Limnological Society of Southern Africa takes on a new form, incorporating a new “straight-up” production format In addition to this outward transformation, the content of the Journal of Aquatic Sciences also takes on a new form, covering a broader spectrum of the water research field including the freshwater and marine sciences. As a result of these new directions in publication, this Journal aims to continue to provide quality and relevant reading for water researchers, conservationists, managers and planners throughout southern Africa.
