Editor’s Comments:

Our original goal in publishing OCEAN newsletter, was to share solutions for shared environmental problems. Our "Close to Home" article on page 3 is a successful example of our initial goal. We were pleasantly surprised this fall, when our NOAA contact informed us that the successful "Biomimicry" sand restoration system we developed on the Ocean beaches of Truro, Cape Cod, was now being used to restore Hurricane ravaged dunes in Puerto Rico! Other articles share intriguing reuse of once problematic waste in the Almond industry, why some algae becomes toxic, an in depth look at our larger storms and how to "de-orbit" space junk.
