IOP is launching a new journal, Environmental Research Letters (ERL), and companion website focused on environmental studies and science. The journal will feature short, focused articles on genuine advances in environmental understanding, and interdisciplinary pieces that transform our knowledge of the linked social, technical and environmental systems in which we live. The website will feature specially written and commissioned content as well as selected highlights from the journal, and other information of interest to the environmental science community. The whole site will be available free as a service to the community and the journal will be the first Open Access journal in the field.
The 2006 article charge for publishing in ERL is $1750. You should send your payment to Institute of Physics Publishing, and you may pay in UK pounds sterling (£1000), Euros (EUR1450) or US dollars. We send invoices for payment after articles are accepted for publication....Members of the Institute of Physics pay $1500 (£850; EUR1250). Institute of Physics Publishing is currently in the process of seeking sponsors from research foundations and funding agencies to cover the article charge for publishing in ERL.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
