OCEAN 61

The editor’s choice article “Unique Concept in Green Energy” by researcher Abigail Eilar, explores the use of sand batteries for green energy.

OCEAN 61 shares an inside look at some of our Interns this year. We also recommend an unusual article regarding fish falling from the sky and the explanation leaves me unconvinced, my opinion. Living on Cape Cod, the concept of a “Sand Battery” also caught my attention. OCEAN newsletter never has advertising and never will, as it is self-funded, to be shared by our readers and their friends. Thank you to our Associate Editor Catie Urquhart and Research Coordinator Jessica Hillman and thanks to you, our readers for enjoying and sharing our efforts. Safe Harbor is a small, interdisciplinary environmental consulting group, located on Duck Creek Marsh, in Wellfleet on Cape Cod.

Editor’s Comments:

Our Ocean-Atmosphere environmental systems are not just linked to each other but connect all the plants and animals together in those systems. Some of our articles in OCEAN 44 confirm these relationships. Many of us in New England consider mussels the “Poor Man’s Oyster” but recent research in the UK is disturbing. Another article I did not want to read is Lauren Goodwin’s “wake up” article on plastics getting trapped in the stomachs of seabirds, contributing to their starvation. We are also sharing an “unable to sleep at night” article about the mysterious proliferation of lizards in Florida.
