.......no, because the reason it is a gulf is because it is a large body of water and it is connected to the ocean BUT not directly.... if Florida does not separate them... then the gulf would not be a gulf because the coast of Mexico would then lead directly to the oceans. .......no, because the reason it is a gulf is because it is a large body of water and it is connected to the ocean BUT not directly.... if Florida does not separate them... then the gulf would not be a gulf because the coast of Mexico would then lead directly to the oceans.

Gulf of Mexico
The Gulf of Mexico.
The Gulf of Mexico watershed occupies in Canada a small portion of southern Alberta and Saskatchewan. The waters drain south into the Mississippi system, which ultimately drains into the Gulf of Mexico. (The Gulf is part of the Atlantic Ocean but, because of the Mississippi, it is often studied as a separate entity).Finally, parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan have closed watersheds or areas of internal drainage: these are river systems that do not drain into any ocean.
The Gulf of Mexico is almost 10 times larger, stretching from Texas to Florida and south to Yucatan and Cuba. Numerically, the Gulf of Mexico is about 600,000 square miles in area, the Gulf of California only about 62,000 square miles.

The large body of water which is south of Louisiana and west of Florida is the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf of Mexico is a part of the Atlantic Ocean and is connected to it through the Florida Straits.
