MODERATORS
The article is paywalled, but it goes on to say this:
“Fecal matter washes into the ocean from a variety of sources, including urban development, sewage overflows, factory farms and livestock operations.
To reduce contamination, the report recommends major financial investments to stop sewage overflows and runoff pollution. Environment Texas noted that a massive infrastructure package passed in 2021 provides $11.7 billion for sewage and stormwater projects, but the EPA has estimated the need is roughly $271 billion.”
So lot of sources, and funding to fix it is limited.
