An interdisciplinary community of scholars at Duke University working at the intersections of science, governance, and business toward ocean sustainability
🐟 Small-scale fisheries are the backbone of coastal communities, offering livelihoods, food security, and cultural preservation. 🌊Explore a new course by @DukeEnvironment and @WorldFishCenter and partners, which helps organisations measure their impact:

Undergrad Natalie Lewis recently shared insights into why she chose to major in Environmental Sciences and advice for students considering the major or the Scholars in Marine Medicine program https://t.co/SAd9xUT0AZ
As part of @NSF-funded study, @Dukeenvironment and @UNCWilmington have developed a model to understand why U.S. coastal property values do not fully reflect climate risks and adaptation costs to sea-level rise. https://t.co/ndd0VcmJmK
Doug Nowacek was interviewed on @scifri's "The State of Science" segment about whether rumors of offshore wind farms hurting and killing right whales have any merit behind them. https://t.co/0IyBOd1Q8N
A team of researchers, led by @Duke_MGEL and @NOAAFish_NEFSC, mapped the population density of North Atlantic right whales worldwide to predict and help avoid harmful, even fatal, exposure to commercial fishing and vessel strikes. https://t.co/fPq5WyzESL
Writing for @ScienceMagazine, Liz Losos (@NichInstitute), Alex Pfaff (@DukeSanford) and Stuart Pimm (@DukeEnvironment) propose reforms to debt-for-nature swaps to help developing countries tackle debt, biodiversity loss, and climate change.

Offshore wind turbines often get blamed for killing whales, but the science doesn't support the claim. @DukeMarineLab's Andrew Read and Douglas Nowacek help @sciam explain the actual causes and how to effectively mitigate them. https://t.co/VeFTqhhZvq
A day filled with insightful discussions with innovators and investors in the blue economy. Together, we're designing a blueprint for better coastal resilience. 🌊💙 #blueeconomy
