Joe Bennett

I have lived on Bruny Island my entire life and have a deep connection to its people, coastline, and surrounding waters. I have been involved in the oyster farming industry for over 20 years, establishing Get Shucked Oysters in 2004 at the age of 22.

With the support of my partner Nicole Adams and our dedicated staff, we built a business that continues to thrive today. During this time, I was honoured to receive both the Tasmanian Seafood Industry Young Achiever Award and the Agriculture Young Achiever Award.

I completed a degree in Aquaculture, gaining extensive industry knowledge and building strong relationships throughout Tasmania’s seafood and aquaculture sectors.

Today, I continue to live in Great Bay with Nicole and our two children, who share the same love and respect for Bruny Island and its unique marine environment.
