For 100 years, Audubon Texas has managed coastal islands for bird habitat. Today, they look over 175 largely undeveloped islands that offer nesting habitat for more than 20 species of waterbirds. The islands and all of the Texas coast also provide an oasis for birds facing a long migration across the Gulf of Mexico to rest and fuel up for their journey. However, these islands are disappearing due to sea-level rise, erosion, and tropical storms. Explore this atlas to discover birds of the vibrant Texas coast. You can also see how much land will be lost if nothing is done to mitigate sea-level rise. Try it out |
