OCEAN 60

In Bird Safe Glass, Catie Urquhart, shares the importance of smart bird safe glass.

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:

In OCEAN 43, we are proud to share a fascinating idea from the Himalayas and another, “Close to Home” innovative idea for long term coastal erosion management, a hybrid system of living shoreline and ballasted coir fiber. We also find it difficult to imagine Northwest Seafood being able to contain everything they are discovering in them (see Opioids in Northwest Mussels, page 6) and from OCEAN 41 “81 types of drugs and chemicals found in Puget Sound Salmon”). OCEAN 44 will link this article with the micro-plastics being found in Mussels. Plastics are not going away and according to OCEAN Researcher Brigid McKenna, (page 6) when consumed by sea birds, they tragically cannot be digested. Oh, and now, micro plastics have been discovered in our drinking water. (page 3).
