Neo Mei Lin

ABOUT

Neo Mei Lin is a marine biologist at the St. John’s Island National Marine Laboratory. While pursuing her degrees at the National University of Singapore, she was inspired by local conservation workers and began her own work to tackle marine conservation issues. She studied the endangered giant clams (the largest shellfish), and led restocking programs in Singapore, with the aim of artificially breeding and raising young clams to be released back onto the reefs. She hopes to synergize research, science communication and conservation management to improve the preservation of marine biodiversity. During her free time, she volunteers with local marine conservation groups and goes diving.
