[TX] Cocaine bundles keep washing up on Padre Island National Seashore

Cocaine bundles keep washing up on Padre Island National Seashore
October 20, 2023 - My San Antonio

Some Border Patrol agents patrolling Padre Island National Seashore in Corpus Christi came across a couple bundles of cocaine washed up on the shoreline on Friday, October 20. The discovery comes on the heels of $2.3 million worth of the drug washing up on another Texas beach last month.

The Rio Grande Valley sector of the U.S. Border Patrol shared images of the two bundles of cocaine on Facebook, noting that agents found the 3 pound cellophane-wrapped packages "miles apart." While six pounds of cocaine may not sound large, the discovery comes less than a month after 75 pounds worth of cocaine were seized from Boca Chica Beach, east of Brownsville. The September 27 discovery also included one brick of cocaine found on the Padre Island National Seashore.

Beachgoers have reported interesting finds washing up along the Texas coast all year, including large amounts of tar balls through the summer and stinky sargassum. At the time, officials said they believe the latest sightings of tar and oil balls are either occurring naturally due to oil seeps or can be associated with oil spills. The Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt, the official name for the floating brown seaweed patch that reached a new record this summer growing to an estimated 13 million tons, also made its way to Texas beaches this year.

We also saw the continued washing up of eclectic items, like the creepy dolls that went viral thanks to John Oliver, along the Texas Gulf Coast. The Mission-Aransas National Estuarine Research Reserve shares the funny finds that surveyors discover in their search for stranded sea turtles, endangered species, including birds, and marine mammals at North Padre and Matagorda islands. The weird finds go up for auction annually to support the conservation, and management of Texas' coast.

In May, rubber bales washed up on Mustang Island from a German ship sunk by U.S. firepower off Brazil's coast in January 1944 during World War II.
