Follow up to earlier post about the Gulf of Mexico...

I was surprised to learn this:

The tidal shoreline is much longer at 17,141 miles encompassing complicated networks
of bayous, inlets, tidal rivers, and islands in some areas. Louisiana (7,721 miles) has the most extensive tidal shoreline, followed by Florida's Gulf Coast (5,095 miles).

The Gulf of Mexico region includes Alabama, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Texas, and the Gulf Coast of Florida. These
states combined share 1,631 miles of coastline divided
as follows: Alabama, 53 miles; Louisiana, 397 miles;
Mississippi, 44 miles; Texas, 367 miles; and the Gulf Coast of Florida, 770 miles. LINK
