OCEAN 40

In New York City, the roof of the old Brooklyn Naval Base has been turned into two and a half acres of green rooftop farms

Editor’s Comments:

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.

OCEAN 35

Fisheries in Maine are attempting to create a new fishery out of the invasive Green Crab

Editor’s Comments:

OCEAN 35 shares some intriguing environmental concepts: People in Maine are starting to eat invasive crabs; NYC is experimenting with old toilets to grow oysters; someone developed a thermal powered piston for controlling greenhouse ventilation and why has it taken so long to come up with edible six pack rings? You will also find breaking updates on previous articles: Bees; Hand Sanitizers and Plastic Microbeads. And we also took a closer look at the 1,000 year rainfall event in Louisiana.
