Nailon local representative
Marine Service extended to Harris County
By LOIS M. RODRIGUEZ
Along with an expansion of the
Texas Marine Advisory Service
to Harris County, marine agent
Bob Nailon has been assigned as
the area’s new representative,
sharing time with Chambers
BOB NAILON
County.
Nailon said that prior to April
1 this year, Harris County has
not had a Marine Advisory ex-
tension.
His office headquarters,
however, will remain in
Anahuac.
“I consider the expansion a
major step in the continuing
evolution of the public support
program of the Marine Advisory
Service program,” said Mike
Hightower, Marine Advisory
Service coordinator.
Nailon’s job entails contact
with recreational and marketed
fishing entities, aquaculture,
marine education in schools and
adress all the needs of marine
resources. He will also be work-
ing closely with the Port of
Houston.
Hightower added that this ex-
tention is important because it
will benefit many constituents.
Many aquatic issues concern
Nailon, including land erosion
and environmental imblances.
“The marine environment is a
very fragile environment and we
need to learn more about it,” he
said.
Several issues will have to be
faced, according to Nailon in-
cluding the constant increase of
the sea level and problems like
the Alaskan oil spill.
“These are serious global pro-
blems,” he said.
But people are just as respon-
sible for creating environmental
hazards as an oil spill. Nailon
said that marine life and birds
often died from eating trash,
especially styrofoam packages.
“Don’t teach your trash to
swim,” he said.
“Through a really stong
educational effort, we can really
do a lot of good in creating an
awareness of the problems and

“And the dozen of Marine user
groups in Harris County now will
have somewhere to turn for
answers to marine-related ques-
tions and problems.”

get started in solving them.”
Nailon has assisted in some
problem solving efforts in-
cluding the attempt to create
new shorelines.
Cord grass is used to prevent
potential erosion and after
Christmas season, old trees
were used to help create a bank.
According to Nailon, 8 to 12
feet of shoreline is lost per year,
including parts of Galveston and
Trinity Bay.
Thi6 shore loss can also be
translated in to monetary loses.
“People are still paying for
property that doesn’t exist
anymore. It now belongs to the
state,” he said.
In his capacity as marine
agent, Nailon can detect such
shore changes or help residents
with questions or problems
regarding any aquatic bodies.
The Marine Advisory Service
focuses on management of gar-
bage in the shipping industry
and inspection of food products
through aquaculture — farming
of fish such as catfish and red-
fish.
Oysters are also a targeted
edible for inspection. They are
susceptible to diseases, especial-
ly if a drought comes about,
because the water becomes
more saline. They are also prey
to the “oyster drill” mollusk that
drills into the oyster.
An unpopular project with
shrimpers is the new TEDS law
that requires them to have a
device in their shrimp nets to aid
in the conservation of sea
turtles.
“The shrimpers have been
fighting this tooth and nail,”
Nailon said, but the law became
effective May 1.
Nailon said that “covering
Harris County will not only pro-

First quarter earnings were
140 percent higher than com-
parable first quarter earnings of
1988 when the Company reported
$228,000 or $.12 per share fully
diluted.
Net sales for the quarter were
$22,908,000 versus $26,562,000 in
1988.
Jay H. Golding, chairman
said, “We are extremely pleased
with the record first quarter ear-
nings. The first quarter is
generally a seasonally weak
period for the Company. Indica-
tions are however, the increased
demand for services is continu-
ing, and we anticipate 1989 will
be a record earnings year for our /
Company.”
When asked about projections
for the second quarter, Golding
replied that “It is premature to
accurately forecast the second
quarter, but we are experiencing
order rates greater than
forecast and we expect that this
trend may continue through the
year. We, at this time, do not see
any impending business situa-
tions that will impact our plann-
ed 1989 growth.”
