Answer to what is happening to the crabs!

I found this in the Port Aransas South Jetty newspaper:
Beachgoers have been finding thousands of crabs and starfish on the beach in recent days -- but they’re nearly all dead. They are victims of a hypoxia (low oxygen) event, thanks to all the heavy rains experienced throughout the state, according to Ed Buskey, a research scientist at The University of Texas Marine Science Institute.
