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.

We are proud to share our 39th issue of OCEAN, showcasing solar powered tents, created by inner city High School girls through a grant from MIT. Check out our blog to get caught up on our research for biodegradable balloons; our response to the Caribbean Hurricanes; and why neonicotinoid pesticides seem to be in 75% of honey tested.

Editor’s Comments:

OCEAN 33 We are envious of the “live smaller, live better, take it anywhere” concept our researcher Noelle Marston uncovered and brought to our attention. Rae Taylor Burns explores solar powered road surfaces, while Brigid McKenna takes a close look at links between Atlantic Ocean temperature changes and plankton. Closer to home, Cape Cod’s Oak trees have been eaten alive by caterpillars and we investigated the details of what has been referred to as “Caterpillar Winter”.
