Texas submerged lands: sampling and preliminary analysis and mapping of Texas Bays and Inner Continental shelves.

Program designed to provide basic scientific data necessary to assess and predict the problems and potential impacts resulting from energy, mineral, transportation, recreation, and industrial development along the Texas coast and beyond, on the Federal outer continental shelf. Results of this project and its on-going analytical/interpretive programs will provide Texas with comprehensive natural resources data with which to assess the various development scenarios that can be anticipated by the Texas Coastal Management Program.
