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.
