Summary of "Grass, plants growing among border buoys in the Rio Grande, researcher says"

The floating barrier in the Rio Grande is currently grounded in soil, impacting the surrounding land and ecosystem.

Dr. Adriana Martinez is studying the vegetation growth and impact of the buoys on the river flow.

The buoys are causing significant damage to the river by slowing down the water flow and causing sediment deposits.

green dye tests show that the barrier is diverting water flow, violating international treaties.

The buoys are not built to withstand the Texas heat and are collecting sediment and debris.

Dr. Martinez's research shows that the changes are happening faster than predicted, and adding more buoys will likely have the same effect.

The courts are deciding whether the buoys should be removed, and Dr. Martinez aims to inform state and local leaders about the impacts.
