APOLOGIES FOR CROSS LISTING

    Duke University Integrated Marine Conservation Program

    The Nicholas School of the Environment Marine Laboratory at Duke
University is offering an unparalleled educational opportunity from July 10
to August 11, 2000.  Duke's Integrated Marine Conservation Program teaches
the principles necessary for the conservation and preservation of the coastal
and oceanic environment.  The focus is on interdisciplinary problem
solving--using natural and social science theory to resolve real world
environmental problems.

    The Duke summer faculty will be joined by distinguished scholars from
around the country for this intensive five week program.

    Participants in the Integrated Marine Conservation Program usually
enroll in the program's 'core' course (Conservation Biology and Policy) and
one of seven elective courses offered concurrently.  Enrollment in any one
course is also possible.

    Scholarships are available, including several earmarked for
international students.  In order to receive full consideration, applications
for general scholarships must be received by March 1. Applications for
international student scholarships must be received by April 1.  Applications
for the Integrated Marine Conservation Program will be accepted until the
program is full.
