For example, the percent coverage of subtidal oyster reefs in
Lavaca Bay, Texas (the focus area for this study), has decreased by approximately 60% since 1913 (Simons et al.
Figure 4e shows a scattergram of the open periods in
Lavaca Bay station 00006 during our study.

Lavaca Bay LNG project will be located in Port Lavaca, situated between Galveston and Corpus Christi on the Texas Gulf Coast, and will be designed to export LNG to markets worldwide by 2017.
Alcoa, acknowledging responsibility to the surrounding
Lavaca Bay neighbors, entered into a cooperative agreement to restore losses to wildlife populations, groundwater, and surface water resulting from the releases of contaminants.
-- Time series of salinity recoveries are illustrated for Nueces Bay in Figure 5, for San Antonio Bay in Figure 6, for

The Alcoa plant, whose refining of bauxite into aluminum continues to result in other chemicals entering

We then quantified the density and community assemblage of nekton and benthic crustaceans on deep subtidal oyster reefs in
