I think the thing that comes to mind the most is that they are doing nothing
to stop the pollution.
I wonder how many former US companies are contributing to the problem.

annual

the worst part is that there are several large sanctuaries down there Padre
Island coming to mind. a lot of the pollution is coming from the Mexican side
of the Rio Grande and don't forget all those platform wells out in the gulf off
Louisiana.
when I lived in Houston, there were days Galveston Beach was so bad you
couldn't swim in it.
Apparently, Galveston is a lot nicer now than it was in the past.
Except for the sharks, which have migrated there to escape the
pollution of the dead zone off coastal Louisiana...
