Manyhundreds of ownersof facilitieswere helpful in supplyinginfor- mationto BernardBrown during his collection of field data; this booklet would havebeen impossible to producewithout their graciouscoopera- tion. Several individuals on the Texas A&M campus provided assistance: MaryKutac, who did the manuscripttyping and was useful in many otherways during work on the booklet,should be recognizedand thanked. Dr. RobertBerg and the Office of UniversityResearch made available theservices of RogerMaynard who drafted all of the mapswith skill and patience. The authorsin particularwish to expresstheir appreciationfor the grantfrom the MarineAdvisory Services program of SeaGrant at TexasA&M Universitywhich madethe work possible. Note: The information for this publicationwas collected during February,March, and April 1974. Facilities,prices, etc. mayhave changed since that time.

Some 528 facilities are described in the pages which follow. Becauseof limits on funds and time the guide describes only the coastal areabetween, but excluding, Galveston and Rockport. No attempt was madeto listbusinesses in larger cities such as Freeport, Palacios, and PortLavaca, but mostof the remainingfacilities within about ten miles of the shorelineare described. All datawere collected in the field by BernardBrown, and most coastal facilities were located during his work.Certainly there have been some omissions, and we should appre- ciate having these called to our attention. Thedouble-page index map at the backof the bookshows the CentralTexas coast. On it areoutlined rectangles which show the areas coveredby the eleven larger-scale maps, each at thebeginning of its respectivesection of text. The content of the individualsections is organizedfirst in alphabetical order by facility: motels, launch ramps, marinas,etc., each with a locationalcode number. The locational code isshown on the detailed map and also is used to identifythe facility in thesecond sub-section inwhich all facilities are listed geographically and describedindetail. A fewfacilities not included on the detailed maps are locatedon the index maps by letters. Descriptions of these may be found in the Appendix section. For example, let's suppose you want to visit the Freeport area for fishing and swimming. Locate Freeport on the index map; note that it is included on the Surfside detail map. Using the Table of Contents find the Surfside section. In the first subsection under Surfside you can find a list of motels, fishing facilities, launch ramps, and beaches,each with a location code number. You can then learn more facts on each by check- ing the same code numbers in the second sub-section and also can locate the facilities by finding the location code numbers on the Surfside detail map. An extra copy of this recreational guide may be obtained by sending a check or money order for $2.00 to: Center for Marine Resources Texas A&M University College Station, Texas 77843 If you need or prefer more detailed maps than those in this booklet there are at least two excellent sources. A circular describing and giving prices of county road maps in Texas may be obtained from: Texas Highway Department Attn: File D-10 P.O. Box 5051, West Austin Station Austin, Texas 78763 Counties are covered by one or two maps, occasionally with supplements, and prices range from $.50 to $1.00 per sheet, depending on the scale. Even larger-scaledand more detailed maps may be obtained by writing for the "Index to Topographic Maps of Texas" which is supplied free from: Distribution Section United States Geological Survey Federal Center Denver, Colorado 80225 From the index map the locations of individual sheets may be identified. Most of the Texas coast is covered by sheetson a scaleof 1:24,000 inch = 2000feet!, at a costof $.75 per sheet. A variety of additional materials on specific areasof the coast may be obtained by writing to Chambers of Commerce. The Chambers of the following cities supplied information to the authors, some of which has been incorporated into the Guide: Freeport Palacios Port Lavaca Port O' Connor Two hints to travellers might be useful: Except for gasoline purchases the use of credit cards is not recommended becausemany establishments will not accept them. Medical facilities are available only in the cities, and much of the Texas coast is miles from medical assistance. Taking a First Aid kit along in fishing or camping gear is thus a wise idea.

  • Texas Water Resources Institute Annual Technical Report FY 2007
    Texas Water Resources Institute Annual Technical Report FY 2007 Texas Water Resources Institute Annual Technical Report FY 2007 1 Introduction The Texas Water Resources Institute (TWRI), a unit of Texas AMAgriLife, and member of the National Institutes for Water Resources, provides leadership in working to stimulate priority research and Extension educational programs in water resources. Texas AgriLife Research and the Texas AgriLife Extension Service provide administrative support for TWRI and the Institute is housed on the campus of Texas AMUniversity. TWRI thrives on collaborations and partnerships currently managing more than 70 projects, involving some 150 faculty members from across the state. The Institute maintains joint projects with 14 Texas universities and two out−of−state universities; more than 40 federal, state and local governmental organizations; more than 20 consulting engineering firms, commodity groups and environmental organizations; and numerous others. In fiscal year 2007, TWRI obtained more than $5.5 million in funding and managed more than $20 million in active projects. TWRI works closely with agencies and stakeholders to provide research−derived, science−based information to help answer diverse water questions and also to produce communications to convey critical information and to gain visibility for its cooperative programs. Looking to the future, TWRI awards scholarships to graduate students at Texas AMUniversity through funding provided by the W.G. Mills Endowment and awards grants to graduate students from Texas universities with funds provided by the U.S. Geological Survey. Introduction 1 Research Program Introduction Through the funds provided by the U.S. Geological Survey, the Texas Water Resources Institute (TWRI) funded 10 research projects for 2007−08 conducted by graduate students at Texas AMUniversity (4 projects), Texas Tech University (2), Rice University (1), Baylor University (1) and the University of Texas at Austin (2).

  • Stormwater Management Program 2013-2018 Appendix A
    Appendix A 2012 Texas Integrated Report - Texas 303(d) List (Category 5) 2012 Texas Integrated Report - Texas 303(d) List (Category 5) As required under Sections 303(d) and 304(a) of the federal Clean Water Act, this list identifies the water bodies in or bordering Texas for which effluent limitations are not stringent enough to implement water quality standards, and for which the associated pollutants are suitable for measurement by maximum daily load. In addition, the TCEQ also develops a schedule identifying Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) that will be initiated in the next two years for priority impaired waters. Issuance of permits to discharge into 303(d)-listed water bodies is described in the TCEQ regulatory guidance document Procedures to Implement the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards (January 2003, RG-194). Impairments are limited to the geographic area described by the Assessment Unit and identified with a six or seven-digit AU_ID. A TMDL for each impaired parameter will be developed to allocate pollutant loads from contributing sources that affect the parameter of concern in each Assessment Unit. The TMDL will be identified and counted using a six or seven-digit AU_ID. Water Quality permits that are issued before a TMDL is approved will not increase pollutant loading that would contribute to the impairment identified for the Assessment Unit. Explanation of Column Headings SegID and Name: The unique identifier (SegID), segment name, and location of the water body. The SegID may be one of two types of numbers. The first type is a classified segment number (4 digits, e.g., 0218), as defined in Appendix A of the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards (TSWQS).

  • Here Is Important Information About Housing Accommodations for Convocation 2017
    Here is important information about housing accommodations for Convocation 2017. St. Anne Retreat Center used to be a convent, there are very few double rooms (only four, actually), and they have all been reserved already. There are elevators in both buildings. The first floor bathroom in one building is designated “Handicap Accessible”, but there is still a lip at the edge of the shower. No roll-in showers are available. Most of the rooms at St. Anne Retreat Center have no air conditioning. This can be a problem in June in Kentucky, USA! If you need air conditioning and register by mail, please write a note on the registration form requesting a room with air conditioning and state why you need it. If you register online, please also send an email to [email protected] detailing your need for air conditioning. If all the air conditioned rooms have been assigned before your registration is received, we will let you know. Local Motels: If you prefer, there are motels in the vicinity, although the nearest ones are all booked up because of other events. In a motel you would be assured of air conditioning, bathrooms are more likely to be wheelchair friendly, and double rooms for couples would be an option. If you choose to stay off-site, your registration fee of $205 would cover all meals at St. Anne Retreat Center, as well as Convocation booklets and other materials. Arrangements for transportation to and from a motel to Convocation would be up to you. The following is a list of motels that are not too far from the Convocation site.

  • Section IV – Guideline for the Texas Priority Species List
    Section IV – Guideline for the Texas Priority Species List Associated Tables The Texas Priority Species List……………..733 Introduction For many years the management and conservation of wildlife species has focused on the individual animal or population of interest. Many times, directing research and conservation plans toward individual species also benefits incidental species; sometimes entire ecosystems. Unfortunately, there are times when highly focused research and conservation of particular species can also harm peripheral species and their habitats. Management that is focused on entire habitats or communities would decrease the possibility of harming those incidental species or their habitats. A holistic management approach would potentially allow species within a community to take care of themselves (Savory 1988); however, the study of particular species of concern is still necessary due to the smaller scale at which individuals are studied. Until we understand all of the parts that make up the whole can we then focus more on the habitat management approach to conservation. Species Conservation In terms of species diversity, Texas is considered the second most diverse state in the Union. Texas has the highest number of bird and reptile taxon and is second in number of plants and mammals in the United States (NatureServe 2002). There have been over 600 species of bird that have been identified within the borders of Texas and 184 known species of mammal, including marine species that inhabit Texas’ coastal waters (Schmidly 2004). It is estimated that approximately 29,000 species of insect in Texas take up residence in every conceivable habitat, including rocky outcroppings, pitcher plant bogs, and on individual species of plants (Riley in publication).

  • Commercial Fishing Full Final Report Document Printed: 11/1/2018 Document Date: January 21, 2005 2
    1 ECONOMIC ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH COMMERCIAL FISHING ALONG THE TEXAS GULF COAST Joni S. Charles, PhD Contracted through the River Systems Institute Texas State University – San Marcos For the National Wildlife Federation February 2005 Commercial Fishing Full Final Report Document Printed: 11/1/2018 Document Date: January 21, 2005 2 Introduction This report focuses on estimating the economic activity specifically associated with commercial fishing in Sabine Lake/Sabine-Neches Estuary, Galveston Bay/Trinity-San Jacinto Estuary, Matagorda Bay/Lavaca-Colorado Estuary, San Antonio Bay/Guadalupe Estuary, Aransas Bay/Mission-Aransas Estuary, Corpus Christi Bay/Nueces Estuary, Baffin Bay/Upper Laguna Madre Estuary, and South Bay/Lower Laguna Madre Estuary. Each bay/estuary area will define a separate geographic region of study comprised of one or more counties. Commercial fishing, therefore, refers to bay (inshore) fishing only. The results show the ex-vessel value of finfish, shellfish and shrimp landings in each of these regions, and the impact this spending had on the economy in terms of earnings, employment and sales output. Estimates of the direct impacts associated with ex-vessel values were produced using IMPLAN, an input-output of the Texas economy developed by the Minnesota IMPLAN Group. The input data was obtained from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) (Culbertson 2004). Commercial fishing impacts are provided in terms of direct expenditure, sales output, income, and employment. These estimates are reported by category of expenditure. A description of IMPLAN is included in Appendix C. Indirect and Induced (Secondary) impacts are generated from the direct impacts calculated by IMPLAN. Indirect impacts represent purchases made by industries from their suppliers.
