Summary
The BEG determined the spatial and temporal changes in inland marshes, mangroves, tidal flats, forested and riparian wetlands, and water bodies in the Beaumont-Port Arthur area. This project is part of an ongoing strategy to study the status and trends of wetland and aquatic habitats on the Texas coast. The BEG recently completed status and trends work for the entire barrier island system and is currently investigating inland environments in the Corpus Christi-Coastal Bend area under a Cycle 11 Section 309 Enhancement Grant. In addition to status and trends, the results of this study address the probable causes for rates and locations of change in the area.
