Good Afternoon,
I am the administrator for the Duke Center for
Marine Conservation at the Duke University Marine
Lab. Our purpose is to offer educational,
research and collaborative opportunities for
person or organizations in the field of marine conservation.
Each year, the Duke University Marine
Laboratory/Duke Center for Marine Conservation
offers an exciting opportunity for international
students. Dukes Integrated Marine Conservation
Program teaches the principles necessary to the
conservation and preservation of the coastal and
oceanic environment. The focus is on
interdisciplinary problem solvingusing natural
and social science theory to resolve real world
environmental problems. This program is a
tremendous opportunity for students at any level
to think about conservation biology and policy in
an environment full of students and faculty
grappling with the same issues. The core class
(BIO 109/ENV209 Conservation Biology and Policy)
involves field trips, discussion groups, role
play, lecture and a final project that focuses on
the integration of science and policy. Students
will leave the class with an appreciation of the
policy process, as well as knowledge in the
fundamentals of marine conservation.
Please see below he announcement I would
appreciate your posting to your list serve. This
is a wonderful opportunity. I do hope you will
help me get the word out. Time is short
..our
final application date is March 1, 2010. I am
sorry for the short notice, but will appreciate
any and all efforts on our behalf.
In anticipation of a positive response, I thank you.
Sincerely,
Debbie

In addition to the summer application for courses
and current college or professional school
