Tens of Thousands of Dead Fish Wash Ashore on Gulf Coast in Texas
Tens of thousands of fish washed ashore along the gulf coast of Texas starting on Friday after being starved of oxygen in warm water, officials said.
Park officials for Brazoria County said that a cleanup effort was underway but thousands more fish were expected to wash ashore.
Officials for Quintana Beach County Park published photos on Saturday showing scores of dead fish floating in the coastal waters.
The cause was a “perfect storm” of bad conditions, said Bryan Frazier, the director of the Brazoria County Parks Department.
