I don't understand why this is a story one way or the other. If you don't want to shrimp for the price you will be paid then don't. Either someone else will for the price you don't want to accept or they won't and the price will go up. Then consumers will end up paying whatever price they deem acceptable. If too many people don't shrimp and the price gets too high they'll eat something else until it comes down. The market will work, just do whatever the Hell you want.

Buying imported cars and boats doesn't affect the small man. It affects the Fords, Chevys, Dodges multimillion dollar CEOs.

Buying imported shrimp directly affects the poor man that is fishing and processing for a living

well technically Toyota and Nisan make their trucks here, but I agree with your point.
