[Post 1173] Launching My Floating Farm: What Will The Locals Think? | Growing Wild: Project Castaway - Part 3/3

Summary

11 months ago Chris came up with an ambitious idea of constructing a floating farm at sea.

Travelling to different coastal communities globally, he and his team of students from the National University of Singapore and Institute of Technical Education talked to fisherman, farmers, marine ecologists and environmental scientists. 

From pen to paper, ideation to fabrication, they refined their design over and over again. Now it’s make or break time - in 30 days, they have to construct and launch Project Castaway in the waters off Bum Bum Island in Semporna, Malaysia. 

And launching it is not the biggest test – convincing the locals in Bum Bum Island to take it on is!
