Gulf and Caribbean Region: Corpus Christi Bay, Texas 1994 SAV Data Set


Corpus Christi Bay MapThis project was initiated by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and University of Texas-Austin.

The geographic extent of the study area was the entire Corpus Christi Bay National Estuary Program including Copano Bay, Aransas Bay, Redfish Bay, Nueces Bay, Corpus Christi Bay, Baffin Bay, and Upper Laguna Madre. The SAV distribution data is used for resource management, assessing natural and man-made impacts on SAV, and as a data source for bay and estuary modeling.

Staff from the Center provided early consultation support to this effort and furnished protocols for conducting the SAV mapping.

For more information and access to the data, please visit the Texas General Land Office Web site.
