CREW Carbon’s Wastewater Carbon Removal and Wave Power From CorPower Ocean

Plus turning coal mines into trout farms and $3B from Biden's EPA for clean ports

Happy November Ocean Friends,

This is not a political newsletter, however this week in light of the looming election I will make an exception. For those that care about the ocean, it’s health, climate change, and the effects of sea level rise, the choice is a clear one.

When asked about sea level rise, former President Donald Trump responded that it would create “more oceanfront property.”

Meanwhile, I found this nuanced article on Vice President Kamala Harris’ record on legislation that effects the ocean.

This one is really quite simple. I will be voting for Vice President Harris. I both hope and suggest you do the same.

Have a good week. Don’t forget to vote.

-Will
