A discussion concerning mollusks (Mollusca) and crustaceans (Crustacea) that live in the estuaries created by barrier islands on the Gulf of Mexico. The discussion includes the following topics: a description of the coastal barriers in the Gulf, a description of the estuaries created by the barriers, the mollusks and crustaceans found in these estuaries, the current status of the estuaries, and future scenarios concerning coastal estuaries. A chart titled "Coastal Barrier Estuaries of the Northern Gulf of Mexico" shows: estuarine complex, coastal barriers, and shellfish inhabitants.
