Firefighters are being called “heroes of the half shell” after rescuing injured sea turtles at the Texas City Dike.

Texas City firefighters lent a helping hand to a sea turtle who was injured and struggling to swim near the Texas City Dike earlier this week.

The City of Texas City announced the reopening of the dike. It will reopen at 9 a.m.

Texas City Police are investigating a shooting which left two people dead Thursday.

The Texas City Dike was reportedly forced to have an emergency closure after officials say people who were at the beach for a party got out of hand Saturday night.

An overdue boater was found dead a day after he was reported missing, the Coast Guard confirmed.

Jacob Saldana, who says he’s a member of the Reel Hustlers team of fishermen, told KPRC 2 he caught this massive golden black drum along the Texas City Dike on Monday.
