MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

CORPUS CHRISTI (Kiii News) – “The red tide is growing stronger out on Padre Island and it’s wreaking havoc on wildlife. Thousands of dead fish, as far as the eye can see, now litter the waterline from Port Aransas to Mansfield Channel.

‘We’ve seen flounder, yellow tail, mullet, lady fish and a few sea robins,’ says fisherman Daniel McLain.

It’s a natural occurrence, typically happening each fall. This year, the problematic algae bloom is particularly strong and this weeks rain storms may have made the problem worse.

‘It’s kind of heartbreaking to see it like this, I guess it’s Mother Nature’s course,’ said McLain.

‘We are sampling for the algae itself, but also the dead fish to figure out how much amount of toxins it took to kill them,’ says Dr. Paul Zimba, the Director at the Center for Coastal Studies.

Researchers from Texas A&M Corpus Christi were out studying the natural phenomenon. They have a warning for people who like to walk their dogs on the beach, to not let them eat the dead fish. The toxic fish could actually end up killing your pet.” Source.
