This report has been prepared to accompany and to provide supporting documentation for the ecological system diagram of the Nearshore Gulf. The ecosystem diagram concept and its application to the assessment of activities in the coastal zone has been documented in technical papers of the Texas Coastal Management Program. In particular, Technical Paper #12 describes the theory, methods of construction and examples of diagrams for other coastal ecosystems.
