From The Laguna Madre of Texas and Tamaulipas, it turns out that there are actually four others (five if you include
Laguna Madre of Tamaulipas as separate):
Shark Bay was the only one that I knew. Wikipedia needs an article on "Putrid Sea", which must have a better gazetteer name.--

I wouldn't be so sure! Ukrainians like to call a spade a spade, or rather a Заступ a Заступ. It'll do well at DYK anyway.

I was misled by a source which stated that a "storm" had destroyed the channel in 1957. I looked into it and found that the actual reason for redredging was to deepen the pass after work was done on the jetties.--

"…after water sellers came ashore in the late 18th Century." perhaps a few words to explain what water sellers are?
I added that the watersellers were "looking for freshwater supplies" after further consultation of the source. Surprisingly, there are no articles on wikipedia strictly about the selling of water during this period, but the practice is mentioned in the article
The Waterseller of Seville about a 17th century painting of watersellers.--

"The city was named Port Isabel in 1928" wasn't it already known as Port Isabel since the 1830s?
in the fist picture of "Features", the caption says Laguna Salada is in dark brown, but I don't see it at thumbnail, and the color isn't really distinctive at high view. Any chance this color could be made more obvious?
The
tpwmagazine source used claims there's only four hypersaline bays in the world. Are you confident that Judd et all (2002) is more reliable for this (maybe, it's University-published), or could you find a third opinion?
I contacted the author of the tpwm article to identify the other hypersaline bays. He referred me to an expert at Corpus Christi A&M, who showed me a passage from a book that he co-wrote, which detailed the six hypersaline bays.--

"80% of the seagrass on the Texas Coast" should rephrase so that the sentence doesn't start with a number Done
"Laguna Madre is home to more finfish than anywhere else on the coast," -> clarify just to be sure… "of the Gulf of Mexico"
