The Gulf ecosystem is extremely productive and supports a rich diversity of mammals, fish and sea birds. For example, the Gulf is home to 29 species of marine mammals, including resident populations of sperm and minke whales, numerous sea birds, and yields more finfish, shrimp, and shellfish annually than the south and mid-Atlantic, Chesapeake, and New England areas combined. Gulf habitats include vast coastal wetlands, submerged aquatic vegetation, and corals, including Florida’s extensive shallow reefs and hundreds of spectacular and unique deep water reef ecosystems such the Flower Garden Banks off of Texas. [/togglebody] [/togglegroup]
