Environment Texas claims to have found that 85% of the state's beaches pollution levels in 2018 that could put swimmers at risk of a variety of illnesses, including eye infections, gastrointestinal diseases and more. The group says the worst of the fecal contamination was at Cole Park Site 3 in Corpus Christi, where 52 of 64 days of water samples tested unsafe.
