OCEAN 63

Samantha Thywissen and Malcolm Fano were married on Cape Cod this summer, at a ceremony officiated by OCEAN Editor Gordon Peabody.

OCEAN 63 is the “Editor’s Issue”, providing some insight into who we are and a pet peeve from one of our first issues, regarding an ongoing Cape Cod problem. We have also included other articles from our Research Team, including one from our youngest but passionate researcher who lived with Manatees this summer. OCEAN is an advertising free, Environmental Education Publication, self-funded by Safe Harbor Environmental Services, a collaborative environmental consulting group on Cape Cod.

OCEAN 62

This issue’s close to home article take a look at NetYourProblem.com a Cape Cod local started, for profit company that reuses and resells plastic from used fishing gear.

OCEAN 62 contains two, very unusual, in my opinion, articles. New England Coastal Fishermen have been plagued by invasive Green Crabs. Now, in an extraordinary development, a Fisherman is using them to create a unique Whiskey! In our "Close to Home" section, a local woman has been part of a for profit business recycling used fishing gear that might normally be abandoned. She is working on an expanding, National scale. OCEAN environmental e-newsletter is the educational publication of Safe Harbor, an interdisciplinary environmental consulting group on Cape Cod. OCEAN and our research team is funded by me, so you will never find advertising or solicitations. This is your newsletter, exploring innovative solutions and unusual problems. OCEAN is intended to be shared. Thank you for your support.

The editor’s choice article “Unique Concept in Green Energy” by researcher Abigail Eilar, explores the use of sand batteries for green energy.

OCEAN 61 shares an inside look at some of our Interns this year. We also recommend an unusual article regarding fish falling from the sky and the explanation leaves me unconvinced, my opinion. Living on Cape Cod, the concept of a “Sand Battery” also caught my attention. OCEAN newsletter never has advertising and never will, as it is self-funded, to be shared by our readers and their friends. Thank you to our Associate Editor Catie Urquhart and Research Coordinator Jessica Hillman and thanks to you, our readers for enjoying and sharing our efforts. Safe Harbor is a small, interdisciplinary environmental consulting group, located on Duck Creek Marsh, in Wellfleet on Cape Cod.
