The GLO adopts amendments to 31 TAC §15.33 to the certification status of the Plan, adopted on August 25, 1995, and amended by order of the Commissioners’ Court of Nueces County, Texas (County), on October 23, 1996 (1996 Plan).

The user has requested enhancement of the downloaded file. Chapter 6: The Gulf Coastal Prairies and Marshes The Gulf Coastal Prairies and Marshes include approximately ten million acres of coastal plain, 20 to 80 miles in width, and barrier islands adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico. Soils are primarily clays and clay loams with some acidic sands and sandy loams; wetlands occur frequently in areas of poorly drained clay soils or sand over impermeable subsoils (Carter 1931). Prairie and marsh grasses were the dominant vegetation in most of the region prior to Anglo-European settlement and cultivation. However, as average annual rainfall diminishes to the south (from 40 inches at Victoria to 25 inches at Brownsville), marshes become much less extensive and brush communities become important on upland sites (Tharp 1939). Like other former grassland areas on clay soils in Texas, the Gulf Coastal Prairies are well-suited to agriculture (except for areas of drift sand); farming, cattle ranching, and urban and industrial development have transformed the region. Of the estimated one million acres of coastal marsh existing in 1950, at least 35 percent has been displaced by urban and industrial development (Gould 1975, 64 FWS 1991).
