The coastal prairie is a type of tallgrass prairie and is similar in many ways to the tallgrass.
This rare coastal prairie contains most of the flowering plants at the National Seashore. However, since 2011, there has been a substantial increase in green sea turtle nests found at Padre Island National Seashore (Figure 1). Padre Island National Seashore has over 400 species of flowering plants, with wildflowers of vibrant colors being observed every month of the year. Boyles and distant therefrom 1,500 feet west to a point on the centerline of the Port Mansfield Channel thence westerly along said centerline to a point three statute miles west of the said two-fathom line thence northerly parallel with said two-fathom line to 27 degrees 20 minutes north latitude thence westerly along said latitude to the easterly line of the Intracoastal Waterway thence northerly following the easterly line of the Intracoastal Waterway as indicated by channel markers in the Laguna Madre to the point of beginning. Nesting is low in Texas, with lower increases in nesting, compared to other Gulf of Mexico nesting beaches. Boyles and is depicted on sections 9 and 10 of the map entitled “Survey of Padre Island made for the office of the Attorney General of the State of Texas”, dated August 7 to 11, 1941, and August 11, 13, and 14, 1941, respectively thence northerly along a line parallel to said survey line of J. Above shows a map drawn by Spanish explorers in 1601 of the Gulf of Mexico and Central America. In order to save and preserve, for purposes of public recreation, benefit, and inspiration, a portion of the diminishing seashore of the United States that remains undeveloped, the Secretary of the Interior shall take appropriate action in the public interest toward the establishment of the following described lands and waters as the Padre Island National Seashore: Beginning at a point one statute mile northerly of North Bird Island on the easterly line of the Intracoastal Waterway thence due east to a point on Padre Island one statute mile west of the mean high water line of the Gulf of Mexico thence southwesterly paralleling the said mean high water line of the Gulf of Mexico a distance of about three and five-tenths statute miles thence due east to the two-fathom line on the east side of Padre Island as depicted on National Ocean Survey chart numbered 1286 thence along the said two-fathom line on the east side of Padre Island as depicted on National Ocean Survey charts numbered 1286, 1287, and 1288 to the Willacy-Cameron County line extended thence westerly along said county line to a point 1,500 feet west of the mean high water line of the Gulf of Mexico as that line was determined by the survey of J. Located on the Texas coast, Padre Island National Seashore preserves, protects, and interprets the outstanding natural, cultural, and recreational resources of the longest undeveloped barrier island in the United States and its surrounding water for public benefit, inspiration, and scientific understanding.
