And in the Hill Country, the Highland Lakes often get hot. “All of the fish are on the main lakes,” said Joe Bray, who guides on several Hill Country lakes.

  • Economic Activity Associated with Hunting Along the Texas Gulf Coast
    ECONOMIC ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH HUNTING 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 Introduction This report focuses on estimating the economic activity1 associated with hunting 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. The results show trip- and equipment-related spending of residents and non-residents on hunting in each of these regions and the impact this spending had on the economy in terms of earnings, employment and sales output. Migratory2 and resident birds, including waterfowl are assumed to be the primary targets of hunting opportunities in the regions of interest to this study. Estimates of the direct impacts associated with visitor spending were produced using IMPLAN, an input-output of the Texas economy developed by the Minnesota IMPLAN Group. General state information from the 2001 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife Associated Recreation (U.S. Department of the Interior March 2003) and a study done by Southwick Associates (Southwick 2003)is available for hunting. However, no information exists on a regional basis for this type of activity, but stamp data exists on a county basis, and from this data, the number of licensed hunters can be obtained.

  • 1. Introduction
    Chapter 1. Introduction Champion Lake Sunrise. USFWS 1. Introduction The 25,000-acre Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge (refuge, Trinity River NWR) is remnant of what was once a much larger, frequently flooded, bottomland hardwood forest. The primary purpose of the refuge is to protect a remnant of the bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem along the Trinity River. It is one of only 14 priority one bottomland sites identified for protection in the Texas Bottomland Hardwood Preservation Program (USFWS 1985b). Although not fully surveyed, the refuge contains more than 635 plant species and another 350 vertebrate species, including more than 200 birds, 60 fish, 40 mammals, and 50 reptiles and amphibians. The refuge still consists of a broad, flat floodplain, numerous sloughs, oxbows, artesian wells, and tributaries. This document is the Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) designed to guide management of the refuge for the next 15 years. The CCP provides a description of the desired future conditions and long-range guidance to accomplish the purposes for which the refuge was established. The CCP and accompanying Environmental Assessment (EA) address U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) legal mandates, policies, goals, and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance. The EA (Appendix C) presents a range of alternatives for habitat and wildlife management, visitor services, and facilities management that consider issues and opportunities on the refuge. It also identifies, describes, and Trinity River NWR Comprehensive Conservation Plan and Environmental Assessment 1-1 Chapter 1. Introduction compares the consequences (or impacts) of implementing three management alternatives (including current management) on the physical, biological, and human environments described in the CCP.

    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.

About fifteen of these become tropical depressions, areas of low pressure with closed wind patterns. Of the fifteen, ten become tropical storms, and six become hurricanes. Every five years, one of the hurricanes will become reach category five status, normally in the western Atlantic or western Caribbean. About every fifty years, one of these extremely intense hurricanes will strike the United States, with disastrous consequences. Texas has seen its share of hurricane activity over the many years it has been inhabited. Nearly five hundred years ago, unlucky Spanish explorers learned firsthand what storms along the coast of the Lone Star State were capable of. Despite these setbacks, Spaniards set down roots across Mexico and Texas and started colonies. Galleons filled with gold and other treasures sank to the bottom of the Gulf, off such locations as Padre and Galveston Islands.

The sample was distributed approximately evenly between sexes, bays, and two collection periods (early and late winter). Redhead breast muscle was analyzed for organochlorines and livers were analyzed for trace elements. All organochlorines were below detection in breast muscle. Boron, copper, molybdenum and selenium accumulated in redheads utilizing Redfish Bay. Silver accumulated in redheads wintering at both bays. The concentrations of boron, molybdenum, and selenium were generally below levels considered harmful. The concentrations of copper and silver in some redheads were elevated when compared to other studies, however, the biological significance of these concentrations is presently unknown.
