Description

Dead or dying Gray Sea Stars washed onto the front beach Matagorda Bay in Port O'Connor this morning. Photo by Cassie Parker Bouchillon and shared by Petra Hockey to me. I have never seen anything like this in Texas and never even a single individual on this beach and I have spent years on that beach...... The bay turning to fresh water due to rains inland is considered the culprit. Amazing.
