Reviving Clam Gardens

The world of science is full of facts and figures, but behind the study are the people. In the end, it becomes a question not of how they do science — but why?

Reviving Clam Gardens

Season 4 Episode 3 | 7m 14s | CC

The Swinomish Indian Tribal Community is reviving culturally and ecologically important clam gardens on their coastline to create habitat for native clams. Alana Quintasket, a member of the Tribal Senate, works alongside her community to build these habitats and make the community’s coastline more resilient to climate change and encourage healthy ecosystems for marine life.
