Environmentally Safe
Wild Georgia Shrimp are produced by one of the few highly sustainable fisheries. They cannot be over-fished. There is no over-fishing in our industry. Shrimp are prolific spawners that only live approximately one year. The shrimpers producing Wild Georgia Shrimp are mandated to install Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) that must be 97% effective in releasing incidentally captured live sea turtles from their nets to achieve and maintain federal certification.
TEDs not only free sea turtles, but release anything greater than 4 inches in width, such as large fish, crab, sharks, rays and other sea creatures. Shrimpers are also mandated to install Bycatch Reduction Devices (BRDs) to allow smaller finfish that manage to slip through the TED the ability to escape.
Enjoy the sweetest shrimp in America.
