Editor’s comments:

OCEAN 38 explores an extraordinary concept we all wish we had thought of: Edible water containers. We are also sharing an innovative technology we had never thought of, which grows vegetables from trash. We are continuing to track the Pacific Ocean's incredible thermal energy near Peru and updating our readers on how the neonicitinoid pesticides we were concerned about with Bees, seem to be appearing in some of our drinking water.

Editor’s Comments:

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.

Thank you for reading, sharing and supporting our 32nd issue of OCEAN. This issue explores some remarkable, technical advances aiding the environment: a drone designed to monitor how whales breath differently when no humans are around; new wind energy innovations; and the most remarkable invention, allowing water to be transported in underdeveloped countries, by rolling it as a wheel. Thank you to OCEAN's team of environmental researchers and to you our readers, for reading, sharing and believing in new ideas with us.
