A historic cold air outbreak brought more than just burst pipes and power outages to Texas, it also brought a significant fish kill to the Gulf Coast.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is asking residents to report areas that they see large fish kills in.
They said because of the extremely low water temperatures, many fish have died and have a chance of resurfacing on the shoreline.
Experts said that water temperatures that plummeted to 40 degrees in Galveston Bay resulted in lasting problems for fish, crabs, turtles, and other marine life.
Fish mortalities were found in six bay systems including Matagorda Bay, San Antonio Bay, Aransas Bay, Corpus Christi Bay, Upper Laguna Madre, and Lower Laguna Madre, according to TPWD.
