Reefshot is the incredible true story of the modern-day race to save the Great Barrier Reef from climate change. An unlikely group of local heroes rally the public, pool their resources and blend ancient knowledge with modern science to attempt one of the world’s biggest and most important biological surveys – the Great Reef Census.
Building upon the people-powered success of Earth Hour, Andy Ridley (along with scientists, Traditional Owners and various ‘citizens of the reef’) is leading a twenty-first century ocean conservation team in this David and Goliath story, uniting the masses to shake the
system for the common good.
It is a love letter to the ocean and the Great Barrier Reef, and an inspiring call to arms for anyone, anywhere, who believes it’s not too late to make a difference. The film follows key characters on, off and around the Reef as they race the clock of global warming and prepare the people, technology, science and logistics needed for the third and most crucial census yet. From Traditional Owners and marine scientists, to using artificial intelligence to help process the huge amount of collected data, Reefshot reveals entirely new ways of using people power and science to tackle environmental problems on the Great Barrier Reef and beyond.
