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.

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.
