I am sure all
Houston residents and other neighboring cities know about the crisis happening
with Galveston's beach; Galveston Bay is heavily polluted due to increasing
runoff pollution from industry, roads, agriculture, and septic tanks.
Pollution has only increased over the years and since the
1950's, most of the sea grass beds in Galveston Bay have been lost, causing
harm to the marine life.
More than 2,500 acres of freshwater wetlands are lost in the
bay per year due to development in the recent years.
Besides the toxic chemicals poured in the water, littering by
civilians also highly contributes to the problem.
