The Southern Shrimp Alliance mourns the passing of Nancy Joy Millis Edens, a devoted member of our organization for 23 years and a tireless advocate for America’s commercial fishing community.

Nancy’s dedication to preserving her family’s fishing heritage and supporting fishermen across the Gulf and South Atlantic coasts leaves a lasting legacy. Her kindness, generosity, and unwavering commitment to the industry will never be forgotten.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to her husband, Donnie, the entire Edens and Millis families, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Rest in peace, Nancy. Your impact on our industry will live on. ❤️🦐

The Outlaw Ocean Project has released a new resource that traces fishmeal from the ocean to the plate, documenting IUU fishing, forced labor, and other environmental harms along the way.

"Aquaculture was meant to relieve pressure on the oceans. By raising fish, fewer would need to be taken from the wild—or so the logic went. In practice, the opposite has occurred."

Explore the resource.

FDA data continues to raise serious concerns about imported farm-raised shrimp. In September, 11 shrimp entry lines were refused for banned veterinary drug residues—and 6 came from BAP-certified facilities. So far in 2026, 73% of shrimp antibiotic refusals have originated from BAP-certified facilities.

Support for the Save Our Shrimpers (SOS) Act is growing along the working waterfront.

Local governments and municipal leaders across the Gulf and South Atlantic are calling on the Senate to pass the bipartisan legislation before the end of Congress.

From Biloxi to Bayou La Batre, Terrebonne Parish to Port Canaveral, coastal communities are sending a clear message: U.S. taxpayer dollars should not be used to subsidize foreign shrimp aquaculture that competes directly with America’s shrimp industry.

⛽ The cost of a sh*****ng trip starts long before the first net hits the water.
Fuel is one of the major operating expenses for America’s shrimpers. Shrimpers pay tens of thousands of dollars before knowing what the trip will yield. Today, it is a hurdle to even leaving the dock.
But the fundamental problem is not the temporary spike in fuel costs. It’s the decades of subsidies and unethical production practices that depress the value of U.S. shrimp.
Support America’s sh*****ng industry. Choose U.S. wild-caught shrimp.
