OCEAN Researcher, Lindsey Stanton, provides information on the plight of Vaquitas as researched and written about by Associate Editor Samantha Thywissen in the article “Vaquita & the Sea of Cortez”.

This remarkable issue of OCEAN 56 features our annual, Environmental Initiative Awards, this year going to two events, which we felt were profound, perhaps not in scope but with inspiration. We are also sharing Associate Editor Samantha’s well researched, heartfelt article on the extraordinary losses of Porpoises from Sea of Cortez By-Catch. We also are introducing new researcher Catherine Urquhart, who suggests we take note of troubling recent cloud tops, breaking records for heights and temperatures. We have written this newsletter for you our readers, with no advertising or solicitation, it only has value to us when we share it. Thank you for your support.

Fair winds, Gordon Peabody, OCEAN Editor.

Editor’s Comments:

We are proud to share our 39th issue of OCEAN, showcasing solar powered tents, created by inner city High School girls through a grant from MIT. Check out our blog to get caught up on our research for biodegradable balloons; our response to the Caribbean Hurricanes; and why neonicotinoid pesticides seem to be in 75% of honey tested.
