Last Wednesday, the National Park Service closed the Kane Creek Canyon section of Padre Bay after it was deemed unsafe for recreational activities due to potential exposure to human feces.
Witnesses reported that a houseboat with more than 20 occupants did not comply with laws and regulations about the proper disposal of human waste.
Evidence suggests the occupants of the houseboat, rather than use approved waste containment systems, instead defacated into holes dug into the beach behind their houseboat.
