A native of Port Arthur, Bob Jones graduated
in 1973 with a B.S. in civil engineering with
the environmental track and later earned his
master of engineering degrees from UT in
Austin. The Texas Water Quality Board hired
him in July 1973. Jones advanced at the state,
eventually becoming chief engineer of the
Construction Grants and Water Quality Plan-
ning Division. In 1976, Bob met and married
Beth, his wife of 37 years. The couple has two
children. Recognizing the opportunity to cre-
ate a business helping industry and local gov-
ernments deal with the ever-increasing volume
of environmental regulation, Jones left the
state in 1982 with another engineer and
formed the consulting company, Jones and
Neuse. Read More

"An important number of the vessels of various segments that transit the Canal today have as
port of origin or destination the U.S. Gulf ports. Furthermore, once the Panama Canal
Expansion is concluded there is also a great potential for exports of shale gas from this specific
area that could use our waterway to markets in the Pacific," Quijano said.Read More
