New Gulf of Maine Times Issue

I’ve been a bit lax in my posting lately,  but the newest Gulf of Maine Times online issue came out a couple weeks ago and I thought I’d share. I wrote an article on ocean acidification, an issue receiving a lot of current attention, called The Chemical Mysteries of Carbon. The whole issue with articles on intense weather patterns within the Gulf, as well as highlights on several key organizations working within the region can be accessed here.

Gulf of Maine Times – Winter Issue

So This is certainly a bit self serving as I have two features in this online only issue:

Sounding the Alarm: The Emerging Threat of Noise Pollution

It Takes Two To Tango – A Watery Dance of Life and Death Between Two Species (This is about the intimate connection between the very endangered North Atlantic right whale and its minute copepod prey, Calanus finmarchicus)

but I want to promote the entire issue of the Gulf of Maine Times. There are some excellent features in the current issue including a look at marine spatial planning and a look at research, past and present, in the Gulf. To access the current issue, click the banner above or click the following link: http://www.gulfofmaine.org/gomt/?p=27

The Gulf of Maine Times is associated with the Gulf of Maine Council on the Marine Environment, specifically their Public Education and Participation Committee. The publication contains features about issues of interest concerning the Gulf of Maine, book reviews, recent news items, etc.  Old issues are also archived online and are well worth the time to browse through.

Enjoy!
