Gulf Coast

The Gulf Coast refers to the region along the shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico, primarily including parts of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. It features a mix of beaches, wetlands, and estuaries, supporting diverse ecosystems and vibrant economies centered around tourism, fishing, and shipping. The area is known for its warm climate, oil and gas industries, and significant cultural and environmental importance. The Gulf Coast faces challenges like hurricanes, coastal erosion, and environmental pollution but remains a crucial geographical and economic region in the southeastern United States.
