Abstract:	Presents the thoughts of the editor on the inaugural issue of "Environment Fluid Mechanics." Aim of the new journal; Questions that may be running thought the minds of people, suggesting the casual reader might not see a difference between natural flows and engineered flows; Reasons for the publication of a periodical studying natural flows; Elements of fluid mechanics that concern researchers, suggesting researchers do not care about certain properties, such as turbulence and energy dissipation, that a mechanical engineer would; Differences between engineers and researchers in the study of fluid mechanics.
