The Marine Geospatial Ecology Lab at Duke has been researching biodiversity for more than a decade. One of the lab’s researchers—Guillermo Crespo—was the lead author on a study that discovered the current wording of a United Nations treaty would protect less than 5% of fish species in international waters. The Chronicle spoke with Crespo, a Ph.D. candidate in the Nicholas School of the Environment, about why the treaty falls short and his research with the lab at Duke.
