Red tide continues to seep into South Texas waters.
The algae bloom was spotted up and down the beaches Friday from the Matagorda Jetties down to Corpus Christi Bay, according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. A fisherman also brought several trout, redfish and flounder killed by the red tide to the Parks and Wildlife Department office in Port O'Connor on Friday. The fish were found in the back bays of Espiritu Santo Bay, said Norman Boyd, a biologist for the department. On Friday, biologists with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department conducted a fly-over of the Gulf area. Paul Silva, a natural resource specialist with the Parks and Wildlife Department, said the impact on the Corpus Christi area remains minimal.
