SHELLSHOCKED follows efforts to prevent the
extinction of wild oyster reefs, which keep our oceans healthy by
filtering water and engineering ecosystems. Today, because of
overfishing and pollution, wild oyster reefs have been declared "the
most severely impacted marine habitat on Earth" and are "functionally
extinct." Now scientists, government officials, artists and
environmentalists are fighting to bring oysters back to the former
oyster capital of the world - New York Harbor. A film by Emily Driscoll. Featuring Fabien
Cousteau, Murray Fisher, Mara Haseltine, Mark Kurlansky, Kyle Bennett,
Chester Zarnoch, Jim Lodge, Pete Malinowski, Amy Cradic, Sylvia
D'Alessandro and Yvonne Taylor. With music from "The Oyster Aristocracy"
