BEAUFORT, MOREHEAD CITY — As the coronavirus outbreak continues to spur agencies, organizations and institutes to ramp up safety measures, local marine labs are locking down and turning to virtual classes.
In Carteret County, there are three university-affiliated marine research labs – the UNC Institute of Marine Sciences, the N.C. State University Center for Marine Sciences and Technology and the Duke University Marine Lab – and one federal facility, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Southeast Fisheries Science Center, which houses staff from the National Marine Fisheries Service and the National Ocean Service.
