It does absolutely do this. Many contribute the rebound in flounder numbers to the decrease in shrimping activity.

Fresh from the dock shrimp and seafood is a special thing and one of the best parts about living on the Gulf Coast.

I think seafood needs to be kept locally/regionally and restrict import to those states that are more than a days drive from a coastline. It would hopefully keep a strong local/regional market and invite more tourism.
