Georeferencing
Georeference RemarksFrom the locality, it sounds like it's on the shoreline, so I placed the coordinates just offshore of Padre Island to the west (in the Laguna Madre, since it is described as being in there) and stretched the uncertainty estimate to include waters parallel to the populated regions of South Padre Island, since the collector says the specimen was collected by a car wash.

Georeferencing Annotation
—
Has not been Georeferenced because
This record, being part of the track 3 import, is not formally georeferenced by FoTX staff at this time. However, to allow mapping and visualization of this record, locality information has been provisionally accepted if provided by the donor or if location text could be matched to previously georeferenced records by FoTX team or donor data. For many records spatial error is either accepted from the donor (when provided) or derived based on coordinate precision.
