Marine Conservation Summer Institute

Please join us for an info session to learn about the 2015 Summer Institute held at the Duke University Marine Lab Campus July 6- August 7, 2015. Come and meet Institute Director, Doug Nowacek and Marine Lab Director Cindy Van Dover. We'll also have students from the 2014 course to answer your questions. The Marine Conservation Summer Institute will immerse students in the world of marine conservation biology and policy, giving you a set of fundamental tools for addressing and understanding issues of conserving marine biodiversity in the context of 21st Century society and the "anthropocene" epoch. The Institute is set in the vibrant educational and research setting of the Duke University Marine Laboratory in Beaufort, North Carolina. The focus is on hands-on, team-based, experiential learning with meaningful faculty-student engagement that are hallmarks of the educational environment at the Marine Laboratory. Students will be in the field and at the discussion table, learning the basic tools of conservation biology and policy in the plenary weeks and delving deeply into special topics with experts during the module weeks.For additional information on the course: http://nicholas.duke.edu/marinelab/courses/environ346a andhttp://nicholas.duke.edu/marinelab/courses/environ746A.
