            </span><p>Hurricane Harvey caused a lot of&nbsp;devastation in&nbsp;nearby towns. But those studying at Texas A&amp;M Corpus Christi have been provided with a great learning opportunity.</p><div data-oembed-url="https://youtu.be/QakH6Zp2dGM"><div style="left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" scrolling="no" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QakH6Zp2dGM?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0" style="border: 0; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;"></iframe></div></div><p>Two weeks prior to Hurricane Harvey, the University's newest habitat restoration project called the St. Charles Bay Oyster Reef was finished.</p><p>What happened next, was unexpected.&nbsp;A category four hurricane came through, and researchers didn't know what they would find at the site of the new project.</p><p>Dr. Jennifer Pollack, an associate professor of marine biology at the University, was one of those who went back out to the project site.</p><p>&quot;We got out to the reef for our first monitoring a couple of weeks after Hurricane Harvey,&quot; Pollack said. &quot;The reef was still there and we've seen a new set of larval baby oysters already attached onto this oyster reef.&quot;</p><p>The reef was installed along the Big Tree unit in Goose Island State Park. It runs along the shoreline and&nbsp;is 2,000 ft. long. It was built as a shoreline protection to help prevent erosion in an area that is known for it. The reef was also meant to be a new habitat for sea life.</p><p>But now, the restored oyster reef is being used as a lesson under water.</p><p>&quot;It really gave us the opportunity to understand the affect of these large-scale disturbances on habitat restoration,&quot; Pollack said. &quot;Those are things that are really difficult to plan for because you really need a large scale disturbance to occur.&quot;</p><p>University researchers like&nbsp;Pollack&nbsp;believe the information learned from studying the oyster reefs will benefit restoration projects around the world.</p><p>&quot;We're going to follow the progression of these oysters over the next year to year-and-a-half,&quot; Pollack said,&nbsp;&quot;to try to understand, 'how does the reef recover, and how do the organisms come and re-establish themselves after the hurricane?'&quot;</p><p>Re-used oysters come from local seafood restaurants and sellers. They are collected at the Corpus Christi port and are dispersed to the University and oyster reef locations.</p></div><!--END WNStoryBody-->
