The coastal prairie region refers to the habitats that occur within the western gulf coast area and includes the coastal prairie grasslands as well as adjacent and included wetlands and uplands. Ecological conditions within the coastal prairie region vary from the coast inland and from east to west with major gradients in hydric, saline, and climatic features.
