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.

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.
