The Plastic Pollution Working Group is Duke’s central hub for sharing work by faculty, staff and students related to plastic debris.

Duke and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations have signed an agreement to establish a five-year initiative to support small-scale fisheries worldwide through research, knowledge sharing and capacity building. John Virdin will lead Duke’s efforts.

A new economic analysis found that developing countries pay less for the nutrition in seafood imports than developed countries, largely because developed countries pay a premium for non-nutritional attributes like convenience. The findings suggest that disruptions to the global seafood trade could affect food and nutritional security in countries that depend on seafood imports for meeting their dietary needs.

Ocean waters are getting greener at the poles and bluer toward the equator, according to a new study. The change reflects shifting concentrations of a green pigment called chlorophyll made by photosynthetic algae at the base of the ocean food chain.

Because most seafood is imported, tariffs will cause Americans to eat less heart-healthy seafood and more heart-unhealthy red meat.

Small-scale fisheries play a significant but overlooked role in global fisheries production and are key to addressing hunger and malnutrition while supporting livelihoods around the world, according to research featured on the cover of Nature.

Kidney disease is typically linked to conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure, which gradually wear down the kidneys’ delicate systems that keep the body in balance. But the communities that 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû researchers Nishad Jayasundara , PhD, and nephrologist Anna Strasma , MD, study are facing a different problem.

Reforestation in low- and middle-income countries can remove up to 10 times more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at lower cost than previously estimated, making it a potentially more effective option to fight climate change.

Gulf War Illness (GWI), which affects approximately 250,000 U.S. veterans, has been found to significantly reduce the ability of white blood cells to make energy and creates a measurable biochemical difference in veterans who have the disease. The finding comes from a physician who noticed GWI symptoms paralleled those of mitochondrial diseases. Analysis revealed significantly lower levels of extracellular acidification and oxygen consumption in the white blood cells of veterans with GWI.
