Thousands of dead fish were found laying on beaches in Quintana Beach County Park in Texas early Friday, leaving beachgoers alarmed and wondering what happened.
A Facebook page for the county park was updated throughout the weekend with photos and videos of the beach. One post detailed “the perfect storm to deplete the oxygen levels inshore” that caused the “fish kill.”
Authorities said there was no evidence of a chemical spill or release of any kind and water samples taken from the Intracoastal Canal and near the Brazos River locks contained almost no dissolved oxygen.
