Welcome to OCEAN 59. This is the environmental education publication of Safe Harbor Environmental Consulting, a small, interdisciplinary environmental collaborative, located on Duck Creek Marsh, in Wellfleet on Cape Cod. You will find no advertising or solicitations in your newsletter, because it is yours to read, discus and share with friends, as Public Domain. Tess Holland’s article on icebergs having left behind tracks in the Florida Keys was pretty surprising but then, I had to read Lindsey Stanton’s article on Mechanical Trees twice. In this edition we are beginning a new series “CLOSE TO HOME," about some of the strategies and systems we use when working in or near protected wetland areas. These are also Public Domain. Thank you for supporting and sharing OCEAN.

Regards, Gordon Peabody OCEAN Editor

Researcher Eliza Fitzgerald to looks into the ocean heating up in “Tropical Fish Found in Massachusetts Area”

This environmental education e-newsletter is written, with no advertisements or solicitation. In this issue I recommend the 3 video links you will discover, documenting a degree of inspiration we can all use. When it comes to drinking water, Cape Cod is spoiled, with some of the cleanest, sand filtered rainwater in New England. That being said, Researcher Lindsey Stanton discovered the unpleasant truth about the footprints of a “Miracle” firefighting chemical we use. New England sea water spends the entire year, within a very narrow temperature range. It takes a lot of energy to alter sea water temperature, so when news came in about “Our” ocean heating up, we asked Researcher Eliza Fitzgerald to look into it. Our articles are kept short, with references and links for more information. Thank you to our readers for their support in sharing OCEAN. 

Thanks, Gordon Peabody, OCEAN Editor.

Tess Holland’s article “Living with Sharks” explores the possibilities and barriers to using drones to spot sharks.

I remember Earth Day 1970, as if it were yesterday. I helped found an environmental group at College and trained student teachers to visit High Schools around NJ. With the elevated confidence bestowed on youth, I thought we had solved the problems. I was wrong of course but have continued trying. This issue of OCEAN features a most unusual bottle, in the good news department and in the less good news department we document a decision not to use drones to locate sharks near Cape Cod beaches. Thank you to our Readers who support our efforts. This is your newsletter and can be shared.

Thanks, Gordon Peabody.

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.

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.
