Texas beaches overwhelmed by tens of thousands of dead fish due to low oxygen levels.

TL;DR Summary
Tens of thousands of dead fish, including menhaden, sharks, trout, bass, catfish, and stingrays, washed up on a seven-mile stretch of Texas's Gulf Coast due to low oxygen levels caused by a combination of warm water, calm seas, and cloudy conditions. While fish-kill events happen almost every summer in Texas, this was one of the largest. Climate change may be lowering oxygen levels in water and causing sea creatures to leave their habitats worldwide. Cleaning crews are burying the dead fish under dunes, and officials are advising visitors to avoid the water while the fish are cleared.
