Barrier Island formation is strongly influenced by four main factors: a low seabed gradient, shallow water depth, abundant existing sediment supply, and a moderate-to-strong storm climate (Pilkey et al., 2009). Galveston Island is considered an active island, meaning that is currently experiencing ongoing destruction (Pilkey et al., 2009).…
