Editor's Comments:

The scale of our unprecedented, Worldwide Viral event may reach every one of us. I wanted OCEAN 51 to include some thoughts for consideration, under a new topic, “STAYING SAFE” which we will be continuing in future issues. As we move beyond our Hallmark 50th Issue, I am proud of the team of researchers who write up our various topics. In future issues we will be recognizing some of them individually. In this issue, I recommend Rae Taylor-Burn’s insightfully researched article exploring a mysterious, Northern Africa Locust plague. My other favorite topic in this issue: Lindsey Stanton’s “A 2nd Cup of Coffee”, a very unique recycling concept. Thank you for reading and sharing OCEAN.

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.

Our first issue of OCEAN was published in 2006. This 40th issue begins our 12th year of maintaining our core values of creating an advertising free, educational platform for environmental issues. OCEAN 40 investigates an inspirational, multi-acre, “Organic Farm In The Sky”, on huge rooftops in Brooklyn N.Y. We take a new look at defining the term “Bad Egg”. We also explore recent meso-scale firestorm and hurricane events, which will directly and indirectly, impact our lives. And cold shocked FL has had to endure the specter of lizards falling out of trees.
