Global or local conservation? NGOs in developing countries

Seas The Day is a podcast produced at the Duke University Marine Lab, in Beaufort, North Carolina. Reflecting the diverse research and educational interests of faculty, students, and staff, Seas the Day covers a wide range of topics related to marine science and conservation. We talk about some of the biggest animals in the oceans and some of the smallest. We talk about management efforts by local communities and by international agreements. We hear from natural and social scientists, engineers, and lawyers, artists and authors.  So, yes, we talk about research. But we also talk about the lives of researchers, staff, and students. And about life on a remote campus and in a small coastal town.
