The study area for the Texas Barrier Islands Region Ecological Characterization Atlas extends from the eastern end of East Bay, Texas, to the Texas-Mexico border. The offshore boundary is the state-federal demarcation line, and the inland boundary is about 65 km (40 mi) inland, including, among others, the coastal counties of Chambers, Galveston, Brazoria, Matagorda, Calhoun, Aransas, Refugio, San Patricio, Nueces, Kleberg, Kenedy, Willacy, and Cameron. Three sets of maps were produced to display information that will assist land-use planners and coastal decision-makers. The three maps are Socioeconomic and Natural Features, Mineral Resources and Selected Oil and Gas Infrastructures, and Biological Resources. This narrative addresses the map of Biological Resources,'' which is composed of 1:100,000 base map overlays. 11 refs., 1 fig., 1 tab.
