A serious problem with a simply stated solution: pay to keep the beaches cleaned. It gets harder from that point, but there's more than one solution path once that decision is made.

Thanks so much for reading & for your input!

Padre/Mustang Islands are about 130 miles long - roughly extending from the Aransas Pass on the North to Brazos Santiago Pass on the South. That's a lot of real estate to clean, and I am unsure sufficient funds have been appropriated to cover all of that.

In any case, thanks again for reading - and keep sharing your opinions. I value them!

The alternative is that there's no solution and the beaches must be closed.

Yes, it will be expensive. No, there's no way to control this at the source. Yes, it will cross over several jurisdictions and require both public finance and voluntary contributions. No, individual surveys, no matter how competent and credentialed, can't characterize the problem.
