Oceans Week at Duke

March 23-27, 2026

Advancing Ocean Conservation, Climate Action, and Sustainable Blue Economies

Oceans Week at Duke brings together students, faculty, alumni, and partners to advance ocean sustainability, innovation, and collaboration.

Objectives:

Connect

Unite Duke students, faculty, staff, and alumni to collaborate across disciplines on ocean challenges.

Engage

Link students with employers, alumni, and partners advancing a regenerative blue economy.

The ocean sustains life on Earth, yet its vital systems are increasingly under threat. From plastic pollution to overexploitation and climate-driven loss, our ocean faces profound challenges. Still, it holds the key to regenerative solutions that can restore ecosystems and sustain human prosperity.

Oceans Week at Duke is an annual university-wide celebration hosted by Oceans@Duke, connecting research, policy, business, innovation, and community to inspire collaborative action for a thriving ocean future.
