After centuries of over-harvesting and recurring bouts of devastating diseases, oyster populations in the Chesapeake Bay plummeted, impacting both the industry's profits and the Bay's health. This documentary explores the resurgence of native oysters in certain areas, highlighting efforts such as planting over a billion hatchery-raised baby oysters in 2013 and developing disease-resistant, faster-growing oyster breeds. The film delves into the cultural and ecological challenges of restoring one of the Bay's most vital organisms.
