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.
