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. 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" by Bob Wright and
Harbortown.
