More than 140 students, educators and environmental professionals took part in the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic Marine Mammal Symposium (SEAMAMMS) here at the Duke Marine Lab last weekend. Undergraduate and graduate students presented their research findings on marine mammal biology and conservation. Attendees also took part in a panel discussion about the future of the Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act, facilitated by our own Brianna Elliott, and including Steve Roady of the Duke Law School; Ingrid Biedron of Oceana; Brendan Cummings of the Center for Biological Diversity; and Abby Hopper, the former director of BOEM. Thanks to our incredible students and staff here at the Marine Lab for organizing such a great event.
