Xavier Basurto, Truman and Nellie Semans/Alex Brown & Sons Associate Professor of sustainability science, studies community-based marine conservation. Basurto discusses how fishers can help us understand the effects of climate change by listening to their experiences.

Politicians and nonprofit groups have blamed offshore wind turbines for whale deaths, but the science doesn’t support those claims—at all

For the first time since 2019, the ���Ĵ�ý Marine Lab opens its doors to the local community to share the oceanographic research conducted there.

Overfishing and climate change are affecting marine ecosystems and the people who depend on them.

Brian Silliman, Rachel Carson Professor of Marine Conservation Biology at Duke, explains why he studies salt marshes in coastal North Carolina: They increase production of seafood, help protect against storms, and clean the air. With climate change causing stress to these organisms, coastal communities are more vulnerable. ”Duke is very active in the conservation and restoration of salt marshes,” says Silliman.

Provost Alec Gallimore has appointed a committee to lead the search for ���Ĵ�ý’s next Stanback Dean of the Nicholas School of the Environment.

Climate change is coming for life on earth – in the form of floods, more severe and destructive storms, drought, ocean acidification, marine and terrestrial heat waves, water supply problems, air pollution. The list goes on, but humans can adapt, mitigate, and maybe even survive. That's the focus of Dr. Orrin Pilkey's newest book, Escaping Nature: How to Survive Global Climate Change.
