Anyone on Pelican Island will have to use a boat to leave for the time being. The Gulf Intracoastal Waterway is closed down as officials respond to this incident, County Judge Mark Henry said, adding that the oil spill is why the U.S. Coast Guard decided to move forward with a closure.
The closure is a significant issue for maritime commercial traffic and civilian driving, as hundreds of people use the waterway along the Texas coast every day.
