We Can Do Hard Things, The Next Wave
Documentary
What is a giant clam worth?
How can we make coral restoration ecologically meaningful?
Time is against marine Biologist Neo Mei Lin and her team as they enter the third and final year of the mariculture project. They’ve cracked the cowry code and have established protocols for growing corals en masse.
Episode 2 of We Can Do Hard Things picks up exactly where Episode 1 left off, at the start of the third and final year of the mariculture project, where there’s a lot of reason for optimism. Mei Lin and Teresa are starting to see some success on the clam front, but what they’re really excited about is their upcoming research trip to Palau. For the first time, they’ll be heading to the home of giant clam research to learn from the best of the best.
Back in Singapore, Lionel, Jani and Wei Long have mapped out the science of growing corals in large quantities, but now they have the hard task of translating the science into actionable policy. And as the mariculture project draws to a close - our scientists’ futures are brought into the spotlight.
We Can Do Hard Things is a two-part documentary that dives into the world of Mei Lin and her fellow marine scientists working on a 3-year mariculture project. Between their bold ambitions and the secret lives of the animals they follow, we explore what it takes to chase your dreams and where these dreams can lead us to.
