To devise effective and equitable policies for governing small-scale fisheries, policymakers need to consider the activities and relationships that occur before and after fishers land their catches, not just the catches themselves, a new study shows.

Fourteen Nicholas School of the Environment undergraduate students will present their senior theses, a core component of earning Graduation with Distinction honors, starting Friday, April 17.

Research staff and educators in Carteret County have responded to an ever-growing need for personal protective equipment by turning their homes into face shield factories, using 3D printers from area institutions.

91ÉçÇø¸£Àû has recognized Lisa Campbell, Brian Silliman and Heather Stapleton with distinguished professorships, which are one of the highest academic honors the university confers on faculty.

Most days, the 3D printer at the Marine Robotics and Remote Sensing (MaRRS) Lab is busy making parts for the lab’s fleet of high-tech research and mapping drones. But for the last few weeks, lead engineer Julian Dale has been using it to make face shields for first responders and healthcare providers.

Schools on the Crystal Coast are helping emergency personnel stay protected as they serve coronavirus patients. Duke and UNC labs are working with a Beaufort Middle School teacher to make face shields with a 3-D printer.

A Duke Ph.D. candidate in marine science and conservation uses drones to measure whales and other marine mammals.

Julian Dale, lead engineer at the Marine Robotics and Remote Sensing Lab at the 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû Marine Lab in Beaufort, dropped off a box of face shields at the Beaufort Fire Department. He made the shields on a 3-D printer in his garage.

The North Carolina Climate Science Report benefits from the scientific expertise of two Nicholas School of the Environment faculty members.

25 staff members of the Nicholas School of the Environment, 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû Marine Lab Campus Services and Duke Facilities Management were singled out for their work protecting and restoring the facility during and after Hurricane Florence in 2018 and Hurricane Dorian in 2019.

91ÉçÇø¸£Àû to prestigious marine research institutions from Duke, UNC and N.C. State, Carteret County is a hub for scientists working to address many of our planet's most pressing challenges.

Research by Duke and NC State scientists finds most filters are only partially effective at removing PFAS. A few, if not properly maintained, can even make the situation worse.

91ÉçÇø¸£Àû’s Scholars in Marine Medicine program, which offers an interdisciplinary research experience for pre-health majors interested in marine biology or environmental science, recently announced eleven new members.

Fifteen 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû undergraduate students have been selected for the Rachel Carson Scholars Program, which aims to train the next generation of marine conservation leaders.

Scholars across Duke are working on the complex regulations governing the use of the ocean, and studying the impact of industry on its teeming diversity of life.
