Mississippi, Gulf of Mexico and United States commercial shrimp landings, imports and consumption
In order to understand the magnitude of the negative economic impacts of natural and technological disasters to Commercial shrimping in the coastal counties, multi-year baseline economic information about the sector in all the five Gulf of Mexico (GOM) states are currently being compiled from various secondary sources.
