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.

Lindsey Stanton’s article, “A 2nd Cup of Coffee”, describes a very unique recycling concept to reduce food waste and create biodegradable coffee mugs so you can feel extra good about reducing waste while enjoying a cup of coffee.

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.

Editor’s Comments:

In our very large world, juvenile salmon in the Puget Sound are reminding us that we live in a closed system. Over 80 drugs and health care products have been found in their flesh; a sobering article by Rae Taylor-Burns. We also look at transparent solar cells; and a “Boots on the Ground” first person report from SoCal, where they thought wild fires were the worst of their problems. Coastal Communities share the same challenges and should be sharing solutions. Our article on Living Shorelines introduces a sustainable coastal erosion alternative.
