Reades said that shrimp imported from other countries do not necessarily come up in better environments than shrimp in the United States.
“They are a farm and farm product. They do not care about the environment of Southeast Asia,” he said. “They are destroying ecosystems, mangroves to put these ponds. They use illegal and antibiotic hormones. They use forced labor, slave work. All these things are documented. So, it is not a good product. The difference is, it is cheaper. Something we try to brand is, you know, a good safe, is not cheap and a cheap sea frame.”

South Carolina’s business owner explained that fulfilling the Industry demands Locally it would not be possible because of the lost infrastructure, but it has hope that “help is underway.”
“In the seafood industry, we have been destroyed for decades,” he said. “Therefore, we have been living under pressure and pain, and I think this short-term pain is worth at the end if we can save our industry. Unfortunately, we have outsourced the United States too much. We have to take it home.”
