OCEAN 64

The editor’s choice article “Waste Water to Beer?” by researcher Abigail Eilar, explores new methods being adopted for brewing beer.

OCEAN 64 Our readers often ask where OCEAN comes from? This is the environmental education publication of Safe Harbor Environmental Services, an interdisciplinary environmental consulting group on Cape Cod. OCEAN is your publication. Please share it with friends who share your interests. This issue has a few unusual articles, not the least of which documents a snake falling from the sky, onto a woman mowing her yard, after which, she was viciously attacked not only by the snake but also by the hawk which had been carrying the snake! And check out our “Wastewater To Beer”.

Editor’s Comments: OCEAN 60 is published for you, our readers, curious about innovative problem solving and interested in the environmental issues we share. Healthy communities need healthy resources, especially coastal towns. Right here on Cape Cod we are about to begin an extraordinary estuary restoration (See Tess Holland’s article on the Herring River). Abigail Eilar writes about a troubling (for me anyway), mysterious and a bit spooky, dolls washing onto Gulf Coast beaches. I am reachable for your comments at gordonpeabody@gmail.com. Advertising-free OCEAN is the environmental education publication of Safe Harbor Environmental, a small inter-disciplinary consulting group in Wellfleet on Cape Cod. Please feel free to share this issue with friends and colleagues. Thank you to our readers for your continuing support.

Editor’s Comments:

Difficult problems inspire innovative solutions: “Wind Powered Drinking Water”, the recipient of the 2017 OCEAN Environmental Innovation Award is not what you may think. In our “can of worms department”, one of our lead Researchers has taken an educational look into recent changes in ocean Oxygen levels. As well as hot news from the Arctic; unraveling some of the mysteries of changing Bird migrations; and a continuing exploration of a new economic engine in our coastal economy: Sugar Kelp. A future issue explores Kelp beds reducing wave energy.
