OceanLines is an online publication featuring the latest news in passagemaking boats and marine science. The two content streams are fed separately to subscribers and blog feeds around the Internet. OceanLines is published by OceanLInes LLC, which is owned by Tom Tripp, who writes most of the passagemaking stories and some of the marine science coverage.
Passagemaking News is the content stream on OceanLines that covers all things related to people traveling longer distances on their boats. It generally does not cover day cruisers, small fishing boats or other marine vessels not intended for liveaboard passages. In Passagemaking News you will read about the latest trawlers, semi-displacement and hybrid boats, as well as some unique vessels that are not adequately described by such categories. Passagemaking News also covers the people who make these trips, their experiences and adventures, as well as their opinions and recommendations for others of a like mind.
In Marine Science News you will read about some of the most interesting science being conducted today, as we seek to understand more about the “Inner Space” that makes up most of the surface of our planet. So many current environmental issues are related to the world’s oceans that a better understanding of the deep blue will help us solve some of our most critical challenges. The world’s oceans also represent an enormous resource for humanity — in terms of food, natural resources, transportation and recreation. We must learn how to be better stewards of our ocean environments, both for our own benefit and that of the other lifeforms that depend on it.
You may subscribe to either, or both content streams on our front page, or through your own favorite blog reader. Our website automatically publishes “feeds” to these readers. Just cop our main address into your blog reader’s subscription window and the reader will do the rest.
We do need to hear from you about our stories. We want to know if they’re the right stories to cover; if you notice mistakes, or simply have something to add to the discussion. There is plenty of room for all to join so don’t hesitate.
