• Description:
  Thousands of miles of streams and rivers carry freshwater runoff from more than two-thirds of the 48 contiguous states into bays and estuaries bordering the Gulf of Mexico. As a result, some of the most productive ecosystems in the U.S. are found from the Texas/Mexico border to southwest Florida. Intended for a general audience, this full-color booklet uses photographs and a brief text to describe the importance of freshwater inflows along the Gulf of Mexico, and serves as an introductory piece for community groups, schools, and visitors to the gulf states.
