  • Chapter 7 – State of the Bay, Third Edition
    CHAPTER 7 – STATE OF THE BAY, THIRD EDITION Key Habitats of the Galveston Bay Watershed Written & Revised by L. James Lester The Gulf coastal plain rises gently from sea level to around 200 feet … Much of the flora is in tall grass and midgrass prairies and cordgrass marshes … The coastal marsh itself is a narrow belt of low wetlands. The fauna is very diverse, with more than three hundred species of birds relying on this area for food and rest on their spring and fall migrations ... Spanish records tell us that there were extensive open prairies of little bluestem, Indian grass, and sedges on the uplands between the many rivers. The bottomland hardwoods were abundant, with sugarberry, pecans, elm, and live oak. Now, most of the land has been plowed and cut into farms and ranches. —Richard Bartlett, in Saving the Best of Texas (1995) Introduction The Galveston Bay system contains a variety of habitat types, ranging from open water areas to wetlands to upland prairie. Regional habitats support numerous plant, fish, and wildlife species and contribute to the tremendous biodiversity found in the watershed. The maintenance of varied, abundant, and appropriate habitat is a requirement for the preservation of the characteristic biodiversity of the Galveston Bay system. Habitat is defined as the ecological or environmental area where organisms live. This chapter provides details on the most State of the Bay 2009 Bay the of State vulnerable habitats found – in and around Galveston Bay; including their location, relative area, CHAPTER 1 biological characteristics, State of the Bay – the ecological services 7 they provide and specific Figure 7.1.

  • Estuaries & Bays
    Estuaries & Bays 67 HOUSTON ATLAS OF BIODIVERSITY ESTUARIES & BAYS A GULF OF MEXICO ESTUARY has a definite geometry, a pairing of one river or several with a pass or passes con- necting the bay to the Gulf. Within the last few thousand years—just the other day, geologically speaking—the sea level was about two hundred feet lower than it is today. In places the coastline was dozens or hundreds of miles far- ther out into the Gulf than it is now. As frozen water was unlocked when the last ice age retreated, the Gulf began to rise to its current level, flooding river val- leys that had cut into the shelf. Three of these flooded river valleys became the three great estuaries of the upper Texas coast: the Sabine Lake system that we share with Louisiana; the Galveston Bay system south and east of Houston; and the Matagorda Bay sys- tem to the southwest. Over time, river and Gulf The Black-crowned night sediments formed barrier islands paralleling the heron, Nycticorax nyc- coast and almost blocking the mouths of flooded ticorax, a resident of our valleys, so that only one or two openings allow estuaries, stalks its prey at the energy from the uplands to flow through the night, hence its name. bays and into the Gulf.

  • 2014 Texas Surface Water Quality Standards
    Presented below are water quality standards that are in effect for Clean Water Act purposes. EPA is posting these standards as a convenience to users and has made a reasonable effort to assure their accuracy. Additionally, EPA has made a reasonable effort to identify parts of the standards that are not approved, disapproved, or are otherwise not in effect for Clean Water Act purposes. 2014 Texas Surface Water Quality Standards (updated September 23, 2014) EPA has not approved the definition of “surface water in the state” in the TX WQS, which includes an area out 10.36 miles into the Gulf of Mexico by reference to §26.001 of the Texas Water Code. Under the CWA, Texas does not have jurisdiction to establish water quality standards more than three nautical miles from the coast, but does not extend past that point. Beyond three miles, EPA retains authority for CWA purposes. EPA’s approval also does not include the application the TX WQS for the portions of the Red River and Lake Texoma that are located within the state of Oklahoma. Finally, EPA is not approving the TX WQS for those waters or portions of waters located in Indian Country, as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. The following sections in the 2014 Texas WQS have been approved by EPA and are therefore effective for CWA purposes: • §307.1. General Policy Statement • §307.2. Description of Standards • §307.5. Antidegradation • §307.6. Toxic Materials (see “No Action” section) • §307.8. Application of Standards (see “No Action” section) • Appendix B – Sole-source Surface Drinking Water Supplies • Appendix E – Site-specific Toxic Criteria • Appendix F – Site-specific Nutrient Criteria for Selected Reservoirs (see “No Action” section) The following sections in the 2014 Texas WQS have been approved by EPA, except for specific items as noted: • §307.3.

  • Genetic Structure of Natural and Restored Shoalgrass Halodule Wrightii Populations in the NW Gulf of Mexico
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 322: 117–127, 2006 Published September 20 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Genetic structure of natural and restored shoalgrass Halodule wrightii populations in the NW Gulf of Mexico Steven E. Travis1,*, Pete Sheridan2 1US Geological Survey National Wetlands Research Center, 700 Cajundome Boulevard, Lafayette, Louisiana 70506, USA 2US Department of Commerce, NOAA, National Marine Fisheries Service, Southeast Fisheries Science Center, 3500 Delwood Beach Road, Panama City Beach, Florida 32408, USA ABSTRACT: The decline of seagrass communities worldwide has sparked an urgent need for effec- tive restoration strategies, which require a working knowledge of population genetic structure. Halodule wrighti is a common seagrass of the Caribbean region that is being restored to areas of the Gulf of Mexico, yet little is known of its population genetics. This study provides an assessment of individual, clonal and population effects on the genetic structure of 4 natural H. wrightii populations occupying 170 km of coastline in and around Galveston Bay, Texas, for comparison with 7 restored populations ranging in age from 2 to 7 yr. By using molecular markers, in the form of amplified frag- ment length polymorphisms (AFLPs), we found considerable variation in clonal richness at the popu- lation scale (from 0.54 to 0.82), with the restored populations occupying an intermediate to high posi- tion within this range. Replicate sampling within individual seagrass beds of 3 to 5 m diameter generally revealed higher levels of clonal richness, elevated by 4 to 22% over that at the population scale, suggesting that seed recruitment is more important at the local scale than at distances of >10 m.
