Figure 6. Regional coastal slope for the Northern Gulf of Mexico. The colored shoreline represents the regional slope of the land in a 10-km radius of the shoreline. Very low vulnerability slope areas are along Mobile Bay. Coastal slopes become gentler away from Mobile Bay and thus higher in vulnerability with respect to the CVI ranking scheme (table 2).

Figure 6 is a map of regional coastal slope for the Northern Gulf of Mexico. The colored shoreline represents the regional slope of the land in a 10-km radius of the shoreline. Very low vulnerability slope areas (blue) are along Mobile Bay. Coastal slopes become gentler away from Mobile Bay and thus higher in vulnerability with respect to the CVI ranking scheme (table 2).
