(KWTX) -This week we are talking with Natasha Breaux from the Harte Research Institute of Gulf of Mexico Studies at Texas A&M Corpus Christi about their Oyster recycling program know as “Sink your Shucks”. In 15 years this program has recycled near 3 million pounds of oyster shells & has restored around 40 acres of reef in the bay! Natasha explains the ecological importance of Oysters, and why it is so important to put these Oyster shells back into the ocean.
