The shrimping industry has been receiving considerable attention lately, and we ALL play a vital role in its publicity. It is not the effort of a single individual, nor is it solely mine; rather, it is a collective effort. Our dedicated shrimpers, deckhands, family members, followers, and most importantly, our state representatives, all contribute to this endeavor. We share OUR LIVES so you have the opportunity to make informed decisions about what you eat. It’s that simple. The choice should be yours!
