Based at the Duke Marine Lab, the Marine Science & Conservation Ph.D. immerses scholars in coastal ecology, ocean engineering, and policy design. Students deploy autonomous gliders tracking plankton blooms, negotiate high-seas biodiversity treaties in mock UN sessions, and incubate blue-tech start-ups reducing ghost gear. A sea-semester requirement grounds theory in salt-spray reality.
