Texas Gulf Coast Oyster Maps
Greater Galveston Bay Oyster Maps
There are two ways to view these maps:
Method 1 (non-GIS)
: This method involves selecting an area from an overview map and then
selecting
one of four available maps for that area. The selected map
will be displayed in your browser as a JPEG image, and depending on the
browser
you are using, you should be able to zoom and pan the image.
Note that you will only be able to view a single image at one time with this
method. You can use your browser back arrow to back out and
select
additional images if desired. This method contains active code used to
display pop-up messages indicating the underlying area. Your browser
may
put up a message that it is blocking potentially dangerous content - if so,
you should click on the message and allow the code execution.
Method 2 (GIS)
: This method will launch a GIS application which will display the
entire Galveston Bay Complex, and provide the standard GIS
tools for
navigation, zooming, etc. There are actually four separate GIS
applications from which to choose, one for each different map content.
