Can a functionally extinct reef system be brought back to life? Jolie, a Year 12 student and aspiring marine biologist, joins forces with her community to bring back the lost oyster reefs of the Noosa River.
The Oyster Gardener is a short film that follows Jolie on a journey of discovery to see if restoring biodiversity and reversing the impacts of climate change in her local river system is possible. This year, she’s part of a specifically designed curriculum program that has been engaging young people in this ambitious local restoration project through real-world learning and citizen science.
Parallel to the story of the oyster reef, Jolie is going through a life transition of her own. She is finishing high school and preparing to leave home for the first time. Grappling with so many uncertainties, yet seeking moments of joy, awe and curiosity wherever she can, Jolie navigates the unknown, while finding her voice and her purpose.
