Yet for just as long, dedicated researchers and policymakers have been working tirelessly to understand and protect these vital ecosystems. This panel discussion will delve into Duke's multifaceted approach to addressing critical ocean issues. Our distinguished panelists will share insights from their groundbreaking research and discuss how their work contributes to global efforts in ocean conservation, policy-making, and adaptation to climate change.
