The Harte Research Institute at TAMUCC builds new recycled reef

The Harte Research Institute at TAMUCC builds new recycled reef The Harte Research Institute and last updated 2021-07-20 21:22:25-04 CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Hart Research Institute at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi announced they have been working with several partners to create nearly three acres of restored oyster reef off Goose Island State Park. Oysters play an important role improving water quality and providing habitat for fish and other sea life. Experts estimate 90 percent of native oyster reef habitats have been lost due to harvesting efforts and dredging of oyster reefs. “A lot of people love to eat oysters, but they often don’t realize what an important role they play in our environment,” said Gail Sutton, HRI associate director and co-founder of the institute’s Oyster Recycling Program, Sink Your Shucks. “They’re the water treatment plants of the bays. One oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water a day.”

No one knows for sure the age of the 45-foot-tall live oak ( Quercus virginiana). Estimates put the 35-foot circumference of the trunk at beginning between 500 and 3,000 years ago, with the best guess to be around 2,000 years. That would put 1969 s state champion coastal live oak at more than 500 years old when Cabeza de Vaca visited in 1528.
