The Texas A&M Sea Grant office has a new online publication that may be of interest to those of us who use commercial, or public, marinas to launch for canoe and kayak trips. It was just announced today on the Aggie Hotline: Texas Sea Grant Offers Electronic Guide To Texas Marinas, Services Boaters who want to know more about Texas' inland and coastal marinas and the services they provide can download a copy of the Texas Sea Grant College Program's 2008 "Texas Marina Facilities and Services Directory." The directory, which has been produced every year since 1986, is developed through an annual survey of all Texas marina operators and owners. It is available as a downloadable PDF file at http://texas-sea-grant.tamu.edu//pubs/boating.php <http://texas-sea-grant.tamu.edu/pubs/boating.php> . Dewayne Hollin, Texas Sea Grant's marine business management specialist, who compiles the directory, said it can be a useful tool for selecting a marina to berth a boat or for any boater looking for a boat ramp, fuel dock, bait shop or boat repair facility. Another excellent, free, Internet guide to access points is the Texas General Land Office's Beach and Bay Access Guide, available at: http://www.glo.state.tx.us/coastal/access/index.html Natalie Wiest Jack K.
