The next phase of a $50 billion plan to protect the Louisiana coast from erosion and rising sea levels has cleared an important hurdle, with the Army
Corps of Engineers delivering a long-awaited environmental impact statement for a key part of the project.
https://www.afinalwarning.com/500229.html (Natural News) The winter storm that swept across Texas last month took power, cut water and claimed lives. It also led to fish kills along the entire Texas coast. But fish-killing events like this are nothing new in the Lone Star State.
In fact, historical records showed that Texas has had its fair share of these fish-killing events due to record-low temperatures. David Shormann, a marine chemist based in Magnolia, Texas, said as much in a recent article.
In his article, Shormann pointed out that last month’s freeze-kill event was similar to the devastating coastal freeze-kill events of 1983 and 1989, which resulted in the deaths of some six to 14 million fish. Shormann added that he expects the death toll of last month’s freeze to be within that range, if not just above it.
