    Honoring Academic Excellence: Dr. Federico Páez Osuna

    In this special edition of the Revista Ciencias del Mar, we highlight the exceptional career of Dr. Federico Páez Osuna, an emblematic figure in Mexico’s marine and environmental science landscape. With over four decades of tireless scientific dedication, Dr. Páez Osuna has made an enduring impact on the study of marine pollution, biogeochemical cycles, aquatic toxicology, and the development of sustainable aquaculture strategies.

    His academic output, with more than 270 indexed articles and 12 books, has earned international recognition, positioning him as the most prominent scientist based in Mexico in the field of Environmental Sciences, according to Research.com (2021–2024). Through his leadership, pioneering research on microplastics, heavy metals, and the environmental impact of shrimp farming has flourished, supported by collaborations with leading global institutions and advisory roles in high-level environmental decision-making bodies.

    His contribution to the training of more than a hundred highly qualified specialists, his unwavering commitment to science communication, and his recent appointment as Emeritus Researcher by the UNAM reflect the academic spirit and humanistic values that define him.

    In recognition of this exceptional trajectory, this issue features his portrait on the cover as a symbol of the legacy that continues to inspire new generations of researchers and educators dedicated to marine sciences. Furthermore, this issue includes a personal contribution authored by Dr. Páez Osuna entitled Strengths, Weaknesses, and Impact of Research by Sinaloan Scientists with Emphasis on Marine Sciences, offering valuable insights into the state and future of regional research.

    Vol. 3 No. 3 (2026)

    We are pleased to present a new issue of our journal, which brings together valuable scientific contributions focused on the assessment, management, and sustainability of aquatic and coastal ecosystems. Through diverse analytical approaches, the authors in this edition address critical problems of great ecological and social relevance, organized within the standard sections of our publication.

    The Scientific Article section features a key contribution to littoral environment management with a study on sargassum management in Quintana Roo under the Coastal Management Decalogue, an investigation that examines institutional strategies regarding regional environmental challenges. On the other hand, the Scientific Review section offers a comprehensive overview connecting resource exploitation, pollution, and public health. This section includes studies on tilapia fishing in Sinaloa reservoirs with a view toward sustainable management, as well as an analysis of the effects of copper on human health from marine fish consumption. Finally, the section addresses the urgent issue of waste pollution through two complementary reviews that examine both the effects of the presence of plastics in the marine environment and the classification, dynamics, and sustainable management of municipal solid waste in coastal and marine environments.

    We trust that the analyses and findings presented in this volume will not only enrich current academic knowledge but will also serve as a reference for developing better practices in natural resource conservation. We sincerely thank the authors for entrusting their research to our journal, as well as the peer reviewers who made the quality of this publication possible.
