South Carolina's shrimping industry is part of our identity, our heritage, and our economy. For too long, our shrimpers have been undercut by foreign competitors bankrolled with American tax dollars.
We introduced the Save Our Shrimpers Act to require United States representatives at international financial institutions to oppose providing financial assistance to foreign shrimp farming and processing operations which directly compete with domestic shrimpers.
We need to make sure American tax dollars work for American shrimpers and not against them.
