Segmentation development for Galveston Bay

The purpose of this study is to develop a segmentation scheme for the Galveston Bay System that will facilitate the other efforts planned by the Galveston Bay National Estuary Program (GBNEP). The study is organized around four tasks: 1) the evaluation of existing segmentation schemes, 2) evaluation of natural features and anthropogenic inputs, 3) determination of segmentation criteria, and 4) the drafting of the boundaries.
