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.

This 48th issue recognizes a young person who is making a difference and some innovative ideas we believe deserve support. We also want to share dispatches from our recently relocated Associate Editor and a previous Intern who has been spending time underwater in the Bahamas, with sharks.

Editor’s Comments:

This 47th issue offers some of our research on close to home and far away issues, including insights into unexpected mysteries and some unique innovations. We have also included a section on “CHASING ZERO”, tracking sometimes mysterious changes in Carbon news. We are also grateful for recent dispatches: from Dr. Robert Mayer Arzuaga, from the University of Puerto Rico, who is restoring Hurricane ravaged beaches in Puerto Rico and had some great news about the Biomimicry sand restoration system they were using, which was developed on Cape Cod; and from Keegan Burke, previous Safe Harbor Intern, who is now waking up at 3:30 AM and carrying Bear Spray, in Legendary Yellowstone National Park.

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

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.
