What We Do

The Marine Conservation Ecology group at the Duke University Marine Laboratory, a vibrant research and educational community in Beaufort, North Carolina, focuses on the conservation and ecology of marine organisms and ocean ecosystems.

Our group includes faculty members, postdoctoral research associates, research technicians and undergraduate, professional masters, and PhD students.

We use a variety of experimental and observational research approaches to address conservation problems, including bioacoustics, oceanography, population biology, molecular genetics, spatial ecology, biologging and foraging behavior. In addition to natural science, our researchers engage in marine policy, science communication, and the humanities to explore these issues and search for solutions.

Our group also engages in both formal and informal marine science education programs, including the use of new technology to meet the changing needs of both students and faculty.
