Hope in the Water, a new three-part character driven series from David E. Kelley and Andrew Zimmern, offers insight into the groundbreaking work of aquaculture and features Martha Stewart, Shailene Woodley and Baratunde Thurston. 

“These celebrated environmental enthusiasts connect with fishers, aqua farmers, and scientists who are harvesting aquatic species to feed our growing planet while saving our oceans,” said a news release.

In Episode 2 “Farming in Water (June 26, 9-10 p.m. ET on PBS) entrepreneur, tastemaker, author and conservationist Martha Stewart learns the ropes at a scallop farm off the coast of Maine. Stewart has a deep connection to the Gulf of Maine – the fastest warming body of water on the planet, said the release. She sails into Penobscot Bay where Andrew Peters, a young fisherman, abandoned his plans of lobstering for a more sustainable alternative: scallop farming. As she cooks the scallops, she notes that Maine's famous lobsters are now migrating further north in search of colder water. Aquafarms like this are the future.

Hope in the Water’s second episode also features Dune Lankard, a native Eyak fisherman and the founder of Native Conservancy, who plants state-of-the-art kelp farms in Prince William Sound, Alaska – an antidote to years of environmental destruction. Viewers are also introduced to Dr. Loc Tran, a scientist in Vietnam, and  Paul Damhoff, a former livestock farmer in Blomkest, Minn., whom are all trying to make the world’s most popular seafood – shrimp - into a responsible bumper crop.
