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.

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:

This 48th issue recognizes a young person who is making a difference and some innovative ideas we believe deserve support. We also want to share dispatches from our recently relocated Associate Editor and a previous Intern who has been spending time underwater in the Bahamas, with sharks.
