摘要：	Port Mansfield, a 1,769-acre district on the Gulf Coast in Willacy County, Texas, has been a popular but relatively sleepy recreational fishing port for years. But that could all change soon, according to Ron Mills, the Willacy County Navigation District's director. In an exclusive interview with the Rio Grande Guardian International News Service, Mills said he expects the port to be moving between $250-$300 million of trade within the next three to five years. That's because after years of lobbying, the Corps of Engineers has finished dredging the port's ship channel. At only 3 feet deep previously, it was barely deep enough for fishing vessels to navigate. Now it has a depth of 17 feet, which allows ocean-going barges and tugs to enter the harbor.
