Dropping water levels blamed for Brownsville resaca fish kill
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Dozens of dead fish have been found in a Brownsville resaca near California Road, close to the Brownsville-South Padre International Airport. Texas Parks and Wildlife confirmed that the fish kill is not a public health threat, attributing it to low water levels that can occur during summer months. As water recedes, fish may become stranded and suffer from low oxygen levels. Local residents have noticed the declining water levels, and the Brownsville Irrigation District has cited agricultural irrigation and illegal water pumping as potential causes. The district is currently working to replenish water levels. Cleanup is the responsibility of property owners, and fish kills should be reported to Texas Parks and Wildlife.
