About Oceans Week at Duke

Duke University is at the forefront of advancing ocean sustainability through the Duke Marine Lab, interdisciplinary research, and student-led initiatives. To unify these efforts, Oceans@Duke, an initiative of the Office of Climate and Sustainability, launched Oceans Week—a platform that brings together Duke’s global community to highlight its leadership in ocean science, policy, and innovation.
