A summer at Duke Marine Lab with Tom Drury ’14

Tom Drury ’14 joined the ranks of Hampden-Sydney students who have spent a summer or academic year semester at the Duke Marine Lab. Tom took a course called “Conflicts in Global Fisheries” and was able to research the conflicts arising between commercial fishermen and sea turtle conservation. He also studied the effects of recreational fishermen on the North Carolina coast, especially in Carteret County, on local fisheries. Hampden-Sydney participants at the Duke Marine Lab have augmented their classroom experience with the chance to perform aquatic biology research in a marine environment.
