Top Ten Details ABOUT…
THE Gulf
1) Beaches from the upper Texas coast are a combination of
sand and silt, between sand dunes and connected wetlands around the landward
side and water on the other hand.
2) Typically the most popular beaches are Bolivar Peninsula, Galveston
Island, Surfside and Matagorda.
3) The Gulf is really a vast ecosystem, supporting marine
mammals, deepwater fishes, whales, dolphins, sharks and countless smaller sized
fish which they feed.
4) Because the ocean level rose using the retreat from the glaciers,
barrier islands and sandbars were created as sediment from rivers and sand were
deposited where water and land met.
5) Longshore drift, a present system that moves in the
upper coast to Padre Island, helped create among the world’s best birdwatching
places: the Bolivar Flats.
6) It’s possible to see hundreds – otherwise thousands – of wild birds during
just one outing towards the Bolivar Flats.
7) The Gulf may be the ninth-largest lake on the planet
with a few 3,400 miles of shoreline and covering 940,000 square miles.
8) Over 1.7 billion pounds of seafood are introduced
ashore within the five states bordering the Gulf.
9) Biologists have counted over 300 striper from the
Texas shore.
10) Barrier reefs, like individuals within the Carribbean ocean, could be
based in the Gulf. The Flower Garden, a place encompassing the East Flower
Garden Bank, free airline Flower Garden Bank and also the Stetson Bank, are barrier reefs
that increased atop salt domes underneath the water’s surface. What they are called originate from
mariners who, upon seeing the underwater formations, thought they appeared as if
beautiful gardens.

Michael P.: The environmentalists will still fight the Keystone pipeline on the local level. I have suspected that they are in the service of foregn oil producers. The Keystone is bad news for Iran, Saudi Arabia, Russia ect.
