Dear colleagues of the Coastal Risk Consortium, The editorial board has agreed to extend the submission window for the special issue on managed retreat until 15 November, solely to accommodate manuscripts that required additional community-consent documentation. Papers already under review are unaffected. We ask that corresponding authors upload the revised ethics appendix as a separate file, not as a footnote in the main text, so that reviewers can locate the consent protocol without rereading the entire argument. Late submissions that lack this appendix will be returned unreviewed. Sincerely, Inés Navarro, Special-Issue Editor
