Abstract

Numbers and area of wetlands were estimated in coastal Texas from Galveston Bay south to the Rio Grande during September and November 1992 and January and March 1993 based on a stratified random sample (n=1,009) of 64.8-ha (quarter-section) plots. We estimated seasonal maximums of 125,187 wetlands in January 1993 and 484,760 ha of wetlands in September 1992.
