    All of these beaches listed here, but Corpus Christie are in the direct path of the Trinity river which is where waste waster effluent leaves the DFW area. This shouldn’t be a surprise knowing that, and it has certainly been brought up in the past that that might be a problem

        That totally seems like a good idea. Absolutely nothing could go wrong there.

    Feels like we shouldn’t be dumping that much sewage into the oceans.

      I mean, technically, it’s just the Gulf of Mexico.

      Honestly you’d figure all the crude oil floating around and other platform run off and leakage would kill the bacteria. Like two negatives make a positive

    Born and raised in Houston.

    When I was a kid (circa mid 2000s) Galveston beach was mid as fuck, but a fun enough time. Water was never clear, but it didn’t feel unsafe.

    Now in the last 5 years or so, Galveston beach is genuinely disgusting. If you visit you want to do the dry stuff like restaurants and Keema boardwalk. The most you want to do with the beach is glance at it and wince.

      MMMM always hated that bathwater feeling. And not being able to see 2 inches deep is always unsettling.
