Oceans@Duke

Oceans@Duke is a multidisciplinary community of Duke’s scholars working on challenges to sustainable use of the oceans. Across the Nicholas School of the Environment, to the Fuqua Business School, to Duke Law School, to Sanford School of Public Policy, to the Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment & Sustainability, Duke brings expertise to oceans in science, policy and business. This community of scholars aims to help train the next generation of ocean sustainability leaders, foster interdisciplinary thinking for more sustainable ocean use, and connect Duke’s scholarship to society.

The Oceans@Duke community of practice welcomes a variety of perspectives to enrich the oceans conversation, which is inherently global and touches so many lives.
