Island Morphology

Barrier Island Chain-created after last glacial

epoch (15,000yr ago)-decrease in sea level-increase in fluvial and

marine sedimentation-microtidal (0-2m)-extensive tidal marsh

habitat

Coastal Features and Waterways

Louisiana Rivers-Atchafalaya, Mississippi, PearlAlabama

Rivers-Alabama, Tom Brigbee, Mississippi

Rivers-Pearl

Recent Developments

• Dramatic increases in nutrient loads-eutrophication-decreases in primary productivity

-Wetland habitat in rapid decline-decrease in water quality-losses to commercial fishing

Page 6: Coastlines of the Gulf of Mexico

Governmental Response

• Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) -assessment of pollutants in major rivers-management plan to improve water qualityEstuarine Reserve Program-modeling of individual systems-protection from development
