Way of life….The gulf coast is a major center of economic
activity. The marshlands provide breeding grounds for ocean life, which make the fish and shrimp businesses very important.
The port of Houston is one of the 10 busiest ports in the world.

OIL AND GAS…..Along the coastal region you will find many
oil rigs that are on-shore and off-shore….The ocean gives easy access to ship the oil
and gas to where it needs to go..

PLANTSThe land along the Gulf Coast is very near
sea level. It is hard for water to drain off the land, since there is nowhere lower for the water to go. Much of the coast of Texas is made up of marshes----wetlands where a variety of tall grasses grow.
