Kay Oluke describes how water pollution has spread to her North Texas area, linking Gulf discharge of 383 billion gallons per day and the Mississippi Delta’s contribution to low oxygen and dead zones. She notes that algae poisoning can cause neurological damage and that toxic algae can kill tens of thousands of seabirds and poison up to one million humans, with no known antidotes. She contrasts thriving bird habitats near Padre Allen National Seashore and discusses how sea grass and native plants help protect water quality by keeping poison out of community water."}
