OCEAN 67

Gordon Peabody, OCEAN’s Editor

OCEAN is a self-funded educational publication of Safe Harbor Environmental Services, a small inter disciplinary consulting group on Cape Cod. OCEAN will never have advertisements or solicitations. In this month’s issue we are trying something different. We feature an article from a scientist friend I reconnected with about her real-time work with plankton. I am a plankton geek and am so grateful for Karen’s work (page 4). Thank you to our readers for their support in sharing OCEAN with friends, and a special shout out to the man who stopped me in a Cape Cod parking lot to say he recognized me and wanted to thank me for OCEAN!

OCEAN 35

Fisheries in Maine are attempting to create a new fishery out of the invasive Green Crab

Fisheries in Maine are attempting to create a new fishery out of the invasive Green Crab

Editor’s Comments:

OCEAN 35 shares some intriguing environmental concepts: People in Maine are starting to eat invasive crabs; NYC is experimenting with old toilets to grow oysters; someone developed a thermal powered piston for controlling greenhouse ventilation and why has it taken so long to come up with edible six pack rings? You will also find breaking updates on previous articles: Bees; Hand Sanitizers and Plastic Microbeads. And we also took a closer look at the 1,000 year rainfall event in Louisiana.
