CORPS OF ENGINEERS PROJECT YIELDS HARVESTIt seems like a long jump for the tempting to demonstrate ways to preneur, Mariquest Corp. of Newport
Galveston District of the U.S. ArmyCorps of Engineers from maintainingabout 1,000 miles of navigation chan-nels to a partnership in an experimentthat raises shrimp in one of the dis-trict’s dredged material containmentareas in Brownsville, Texas, on theMexican border.
It seems like a long jump, but ac-tually it is only a short hop.
This is a new adventure for theCorps, and the recent first harvestwas the first tangible milestone.CONTAINMENT AREAS "One of thebiggest problems facing the main-tenance program in the GalvestonDistrict and other districts as well isthe acquisition of a suitable numberof dredged material containmentareas," says George Rochen, chief ofthe district’s construction-operationsdivision.
"The Galveston District utilizes anaverage of 50,341 acres for confineddisposal areas annually to keep thechannels open," he added.
During the most recent statisticalyear, 1986, water transport carriedapproximately 267 million tons ofcommerce in Texas, producing about20 percent of the gross state productfor Texas.
"As a principle, the state of Texasand other resource agencies such asthe U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
prefer that dredged material be placedin contained areas rather than in openwater," Rochen said. "Containedareas are leveed sites in non-regu-lated, less environmentally sensitiveuplands."
Historically, owners of privatelands suitable for dredged materialdisposal have been unwilling to givethe Corps of Engineers easementsbecause they feel that the landbecomes economically and biologi-cally unproductive.
"Traditionally, disposal sites aredormant between disposal uses,sometimes three to five years. We aretrying to devise other land uses forthe same areas that are compatiblewith disposal uses," said Rochen.MORE PRODUCTIVE The Corps is at-
make the lands productive. One ofthe ways to do this is through marl-culture.
Mariculture, or fish farming, hasbeen around for a long time. Catfish,crayfish, trout and other species havebeen raised in controlled environ-ments for many years.
Currently, the Waterways Experi-ment Station in Vicksburg, Missis-sippi; the Galveston District; TexasA&M University; and a private entre-
Beach, California, have established anexperimental shrimp farming area inBrownsville, six miles from the Gulfof Mexico, on the Brownsville ShipChannel.IDEAL SHRIMP FARMS "The leveesand spillways are already in place.This reduces the start-up costs for anentrepreneur and makes the ideamore attractive," he said.

sumed in the U.S. are imported," saidDr. Addison Lawrence of the Depart-ment of Wildlife and Fisheries atTexas A&M.
"The mariculture of shrimp wouldaffect the import market but wouldnot affect the traditional shrimping in-dustry," Rochen said.GOOD HARVEST The payoff for thecurrent project came in Septemberwhen the harvest took place.
"The harvest brought in more than106,000 pounds of shrimp," HerbieMaurer, Galveston District’s chief ofthe Operations and MaintenanceBranch, said. "That is more than weexpected. They were good, healthyanimals and when cleaned, therewere about 65,000 pounds."
The site is a lonesome place, withthe winds whispering across an open,delta area, kicking up sand and dustdevils in the south Texas heat.
But, from the knowledge and ex-perience gained on this empty part ofthe Texas coast, may come thewherewithal to keep the Corps’ main-tenance program on its feet well intothe next century.

WORLD BANK OFFERS VARIED BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIESThe World Bank was formed to
kindle economic growth in develop-ing countries. But businesses indeveloped countries can benefit byparticipating in World Bank projects.
Projects financed by the bank offeropportunities for engineers, con-sultants, contractors, subcontractors,manufacturers and other companiesthat can provide vital supplies andservices.
The World Bank -- and the poten-tial business opportunities of WorldBank-funded projects -- was the sub-ject of a recent daylong seminarorganized by the Houston WorldTrade Association.
The World Bank is the world’slargest lender for developmental pur-poses, having lent more than $160billion for 4,500 projects in morethan 130 countries since its forma-tion. Carol StiLt, senior business ad-viser for the bank, told seminar par-ticipants that lending money is thebank’s most apparent service, but theorganization has other functions, too.l CITILIST "We also provide theadvice and technical assistance to ac-company those funds so that they’reused economically and efficiently forthe intended purpose in a particularcountry," StiLt said. "And a major andgrowing part of our work is to serveas a catalyst to stimulate investmentfrom other sources."
The bank currently consists of twoinstitutions. The International Bankfor Reconstruction and Development(IBRD) offers loans at adjustablemarket rates for creditworthy bor-rowers. The International Develop-ment Association (IDA), assists coun-tries unable to borrow at marketrates.LOAN RECIPIENTS Last year, IBRD andIDA together lent almost $18 billion.Of the total lent, Latin America re-ceived 29 percent, or $5.2 billion,and South Asia received 23 percent,or almost $4 billion. Other recipientswere East Asia and the Pacific, $3.3billion; Europe, the Middle East andNorth Africa, $3.1 billion; and Africa$2.1 billion.
A World Bank affiliate, the Inter-national Finance Corp. (IFC), helpsput together sources of funding forprojects that otherwise would be heldback by inadequate financing. An ad-ditional World Bank entity, the Multi-lateral Investment Guarantee Associa-tion (MIGA), is being organized.MIGA’s purpose is to insure guaran-
tees against noncommericial risks.LENDING SCOPE Agriculture and ruraldevelopment traditionally is the larg-est area of World Bank lending,followed by energy development,StiLt said. Other areas include devel-opment of finance companies -- suchas banks in developing countries thatlend to small entrepreneurs, in-dustries and agriculture -- and trans-portation, telecommunications, ur-ban development and water supplyprojects.
The bank does not provide funding
for the entire project. "When theWorld Bank makes a loan, typically itlends only the foreign exchange costsof the project, an average that is about30 or 40 percent of total projectcosts," StiLt said. The remainder ofthe financing for a project comesfrom local government, official agen-cies, export credit institutions, com-mercial banks or other agencies.PROCEDURES Also speaking at theseminar was Eugene Schertz, procure-ment adviser for the World Bank’sContinued on Page 26

VISIONS FOR GREATER HOUSTON PANEL PRESENTS REPORTThe Steering Committee for Visions subcommittees addressing particular portunity for every Houstonian to
for Greater Houston has presented itsfirst report, outlining a plan for townhall meetings and task forces to col-lect citizen input. In January of 1986,Mayor Kathryn Whitmire announceda plan to create Visions for GreaterHouston. At that time she appointed asteering committee, chaired by GerryPate, president, Pate Engineers Inc.,to establish a process for the entirecommunity to participate in settinggoals for the city’s future.FOUR GOALS The four broad goals setforth by the steering committee are toensure provisions for personal andfamily enrichment, communitylivability, new urban forms and eco-nomic innovation. Four task forceshave been appointed to define eachof those broad goals further, andtown hall meetings will be held earlyin 1988 focusing on each goal.
The Task Force on Personal andFamily Enrichment will look atcultural affairs, community unity anddiversity, primary and secondaryeducation, and recreation as factorsaffecting the quality of life inHouston. The Task Force on Commu-nity Livability will focus on basicservices in the community, includingenvironmental protection, socialservices, transportation and publicsafety. The Task Force on New UrbanForms will address the aesthetic en-vironment of the city, and the TaskForce on Economic Innovation willbe concerned both with the internaleconomy of the city and the externalperception of Houston. Each taskforce will seek public participation on
aspects of these broad areas.TOWN MEETINSS The Town HallMeetings, which will begin in mid-January, will be held in different areasof the city, and will provide citizensthe opportunity to discuss prioritiesfor Houston’s future.
"I am very excited about this op-
help create the vision for our future,"said Whitmire. "Houston is a diversecity; we want every point of view in-cluded in the development of a con-sensus for tomorrow."
