LA shrimpers are hurting,also. The entire American fishing industry is hurting from cheap and many times inferior product from overseas. Shrimp is the most consumed seafood in the US. Nearly 2 billion pounds a year, a fraction of which is wild caught American shrimp. Videos/stories of Indian shrimp farms show some pretty disgusting practices [eg: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/indian-company-sold-contaminated-shrimp-us-grocery-stores-whistleblowe-rcna144082]

Please be aware of where your meals come from.

Sorry but just like the American farmer and land is being turned into cheaply built housing, nobody cares so long as they get inexpensive food in their plate right now.
They don’t see that, like our heavy industrial base, we’re slowly becoming dependent upon foreign produced foodstuffs, not just exotic fruits like bananas or pineapples but more and more like beef and pork and, as this article states, shrimp.

My dad had a small shrimp boat for a while when I was kid, he operated out of somewhere around the Freeport area outside of Houston, he built it on a hull he bought out of a farmer’s field after hurricane Carla.

The Gulf used to be a wonderful playground with an abundance of seafood that you could catch even for lunch on the beach with a hand seining net, or a gig and lantern at night or crab cages on the bayside, when the boat people came with the oriental way of stripping all the water bounty for the now without a view to the future, the trouble started.

“They” did the same thing to the PAC NW salmon industry, except it was a combination of salmon farms and French imports of Coho.

This reminds me of when the Vietnamese were relocated to Texas in the 70’s. They killed the shrimping industry then.

Yep got to watch out for them ‘crawlers’....
Can’t catch much with them.

on the east coast- fishermen are seeing a massive sudden decline in fish and lobster, which they think may be related to the windmill farms in the ocean- apparently they disrupt something in the breeding/development cycle- or something-

Prices are going to skyrocket in the near future because of it

Here's a thought: Instead of killing the importation of shrimp, which helps the American consumer, why not fix the cost of distillate fuels by reversing Biden's policies on producing energy? Within hours of taking office, Bozo killed the Keystone Pipeline and restricted drilling on federal lands and offshore. The result was that a major input resource to the fishing industry--fuel--shot through the roof. Immediately, distribution costs skyrocketed (e.g., trucks, ships, and rail) as his policies took effect.

Instead of passing a law that keeps shrimp prices high and hurts the American consumer, lower the shrimp industry's major input cost and get rid of Biden's restrictive fuel policies.
