The fishing is good around here! The Port Authority reminds readers of that fact in a Calhoun County Visitors Guide message.

The Port Authority has long considered its two most important responsibilities to be supporting good stable jobs for the community and taking care of the region's sports fishing and nature tourism assets. Fishing, birding and miles of shoreline habitat attract visitors to the region from around the world.

The message explains that fishing is always good on Matagorda Bay and Lavaca Bay which also just happen to be the destination for hundreds of ships and barges moving valuable cargo through the Port of Port Lavaca-Point Comfort. "The Calhoun Port Authority has long been committed to promoting responsible, sustainable development that's in the best interest of the community, the environment and the economy. We strive for continuoous improvement in our environmental performance and pollution prevention measures. That makes the fishing better for everybody," it concludes.
