Guest Editorial: Restoring Abundant Oceans
Andrew Sharpless, Oceana

The Literal Landscape: Portrait of Fernando, Bahía de Loreto
Simmons B. Buntin, Terrain.org Editor/Publisher

Fernando steers our panga over the turquoise water, away from a beach-lined cove and away from El Don, the yacht our group chartered to take us to Isla Coronado and the Parque Nacional Bahía de Loreto. He is of medium height, muscular but not overly so, tanned from his Mexican heritage and from working in the subtropical sun.
  
  
  

Bull Hill: To Wail with a Whale: Clarinet Meets Humpback Whale in Island Paradise
by David Rothenberg, Terra Nova Editor

“Ooh, beautiful man. Relax bro. He can hear you, the whales are telepathic, dude!”  A naked woman starts to blow a didgeridoo toward the water right next to my ear. I’m playing high, detached notes, basking in the sun up on deck, leaving space for that whole whale song. Is he grooving on the didg and the reed? We don’t know what they hear, what they sense.
