I recall little tar balls on Galveston in the '80's. Haven't seen them there in more recent years. Course they dredge or pump sand onto the beach now - don't know what impact that has. But regardless Galveston beach looks dirty. I think its just a function of the muddy bottom of the Gulf and of the Port of Houston being one of our major ports - ships dump stuff before coming in. The S Texas beaches are good looking though just like Florida east coast beaches - better maybe - I can remember finding trash from Cuba on Florida beaches and I haven't see Mexican trash on either N or S Padre. In the southern gulf - s TX and Mexico, the shelf is narrower and deepwater closer to shore. Till you get around to the Yucatan peninsula. Plus the northern Gulf south of LA, NE TX has bigger rivers dumping sediment in the Gulf.
