## Resource

Dead fish floating in Houston’s bayous? It’s not an apocalypse—it’s nature’s response to heavy rain. Stormwater flushes nutrients into the water, sparking algal blooms that gulp up oxygen at night, leaving fish struggling. Most kills happen early morning, then recover as the sun rises. Texas Parks and Wildlife says this is normal post-rain, not pollution or disease. Just remember: some bayous have past contamination issues—check local advisories before fishing.
