OCEAN 53 introduces some interesting videos we wanted to recommend and share with our readers. OCEAN is a self-funded, environmental education newsletter for Safe Harbor Environmental Services, a multidisciplinary, environmental consulting group on Cape Cod. This issue contains articles by OCEAN Researchers, ranging from “VANISHING BIRDS”; to “INNOVATIVE FLOOD PROTECTION”; to the “NURDLE APOCALYPSE” in New Orleans. We publish this newsletter for people with an interest in the environment and in climate action. Please feel free to share OCEAN with friends who share your interests. It is a Public Domain publication. Thank you.

Editor’s Comments:

Our original goal in publishing OCEAN newsletter, was to share solutions for shared environmental problems. Our "Close to Home" article on page 3 is a successful example of our initial goal. We were pleasantly surprised this fall, when our NOAA contact informed us that the successful "Biomimicry" sand restoration system we developed on the Ocean beaches of Truro, Cape Cod, was now being used to restore Hurricane ravaged dunes in Puerto Rico! Other articles share intriguing reuse of once problematic waste in the Almond industry, why some algae becomes toxic, an in depth look at our larger storms and how to "de-orbit" space junk.
