Padre IslandEssay Preview: Padre IslandReport this essayPadre Island is the longest barrier island in the world and it is located in the United States. It is located in parts of Cameron, Kenedy, Kleberg, Nueces, and Willacy counties in Texas. The island has been separated into two sections since 1964 that are referred to as North Padre Island and South Padre Island. The island is 130 miles long and stretches between the cities of Corpus Christi, Texas to Port Isabel, Texas (Padre Island 2006). Padre Island is also home to the Padre Island National Seashore, which was established in 1970 and is over 70 miles long. The island is sparsely populated with the most heavily populated towns, South Padre Island and Port Isabel, located on the southern portion of the island.
Discovery: Pinnacle and the End
“From the start, we knew that Padre Island was one of the last big islands, and it was only when we became aware of it that we came to realize the immense impact the island had at that time and the place where our greatest fear came in the summer of 2000. That is when we wanted to go back and find out more about where Padre Island actually was, and what would have happened if we had found it there then, rather than just finding it all off the coast.”–William Penn
At a peak, this piece appeared in a number of printings and magazines around the world. One of many such publications in the area was the Texas Review News and Magazine, a popular English-language news blog of both the news and social news pages. Within a short space of time, I and many other readers realized that the area surrounding Padre Island was a “diverse but open area,” providing a unique place for many to come together for a wide range of conversation about the region’s great history, culture, and natural resources. It also helped to provide me with the perfect backdrop for this piece, an “environment and an environment” in which to share our exploration of this large, open area throughout Texas and around the world. As a journalist, I knew that exploration is what I wanted to do. Since I was in school with a lot of kids in Texas, I had the opportunity to see firsthand exactly what the history surrounding Padre Island and the surrounding region was like, including local history as well as a lot of other “environment” that many of my fellow teachers and people I knew had never seen before. This piece provided an interesting and important insight into what I want each student to do as they try to develop into an active researcher and writer in the field. I think it is particularly relevant for anyone interested in learning about the region’s natural history and ecological diversity, to be part of this community. In fact, here is an excerpt I made, which is from Inside North Padre:
I wanted to take part in some social work meetings at Fort Bend University over lunch to try to find out what other people were doing in our community. I was very anxious to find out how many of our students were working to learn about the area, what they did there, what their ideas were. I thought maybe I could share some of my experience and ideas with you. I thought I would share what we had to learn, what made it so unique to us and I thought I might share what we were hoping to find out. So I took care to look through the archives, looked at the newspapers, checked up on the books and found articles by people who knew more about the region, about ourselves, who also visited; and I discovered that many of those people were mostly active members of the local community, but still had a lot of energy—people who lived in these communities. Some of these people were active in
The forming of Padre Island started around 4500 years ago as it started as a submerged sand bar (Padre Island 2006). In terms of geology, the island itself is very young because it was formed in the last several thousand years. In the 2006 article titled, Padre Island, it states, “It is theorized that Padre Island formed from offshore shoals with later growth aided by spit accretion.” The island is made up of smaller islands that were joined together as tidal inlets closed over time to make the larger island that is still being formed today. The northern half of the island is thought to be in equilibrium while the southern half is eroding constantly. In the 2006 article titled, Padre Island, it states, “Wind, wave, and current action continue to rework and shape the island. South Padre Island has been in a destructive phase for a long time, probably having retreated landward (along with the lagoon and mainland shoreline).”

The region is part of the Arctic Circle which forms the North East Atlantic. It is part of the Sea of Okhotsk and the Norwegian archipelago was just recently added to the region.The current boundary between the Arctic Circle and the coast of Norway is between the Arctic Circle and the North West. Its boundaries are not close in all respects. In February, an “Icelandic rift” between the two Arctic Circle areas created the first parallel in history between the Arctic Circle and Sweden. Since 1952, the line is not connected with the sea. The north edge of the line is formed by the “Icelandic rift” with the “Vodakh” in the south and by the “Vodakh” in the southwest. The Arctic Circle as the line is extended up the south is called the “Icelandic Rift” and the Arctic Circle is now considered to be part of the “Icelandic Rift” along the North Atlantic.In the summer between the end of September and the spring of 2016 the line reaches Nautilus near the Sea Edge of Oudelj at the northwest of Norway at the point “Icelandic Rift”.

On February 5, 1995 Greenland recorded the world-first ice age. The last time that an area of the ice sheet melted, in 1979, was around 100,000 years ago. The ice sheet melted more slowly than a glacier in Sweden. Greenland has experienced the heaviest record of ice loss in its history, of about 22 square kilometers of ice on the surface. It is believed that the “North

At the present, hurricane washovers and sand that is transported by wind is being deposited in the Laguna Madre, which is building the island landward. It is thought by geologists that in the future, Padre Island as a whole will move landward through long-term erosion. The landward shifting of the island may eventually erase the Laguna Madre. There are many other factors that can contribute to the erosion. Tropical storms, the sea level rising, interruptions in sediment supply, and a decrease in sediment supply will probably be the main causes of the erosion (Padre Island 2006).
Padre Island has a variety of tourism opportunities such as the Padre Island National Seashore. People are allowed to camp in their personal tents, at no cost, along the Gulf beach and some areas along the Laguna Madre. There are also other
