Has anyone seen this? I was planning on making a trip there in a few weeks. Hopefully it will all be cleaned up by then.



Important Notice to anglers and other visitors traveling down island on South Beach at Padre Island National Seashore (posted on 12/22/2014 at 4:30 pm): A large container of an as yet undetermined chemical is rolling around in the surf around mile marker 35. It is leaking and those traveling south into that vicinity are being advised to not stop or fish anywhere near the container. The United States Coast Guard (USCG) and the Texas General Land Office (GLO) have both dispatched crews to try and determine what is in the container and to safely remove it from the park.

Thankfully, incidents such as this don't happen very often. However, as many visitors are aware, the currents push a lot of waste items ashore in the area. It is a good idea to stay well away from any containers that appear to be leaking liquids since you never know just what may have washed ashore.

Many of these containers are the result of either illegal dumping, accidental loss, or storm events that wash the containers into the ocean. The picture included with this post shows some of the hundreds of chemical containers that washed ashore in the park following Hurricane Ike in 2008. They were carefully collected then properly disposed of by the park's trained hazardous waste management team and our partners at the GLO and the USCG.
