Shrimping season is now open in Georgia’s waters, as of 6am this morning. The season allows trawlers to operate in the state’s territorial waters extending three miles offshore, with people allowed to use cast nets to catch shrimp. According to the Department of Natural Resources, shrimpers in Georgia harvested nearly two-million pounds of shrimp last year.

The state Department of Natural Resources says the decision to extend the season is based on information from biologists who monitor the shrimp population. The order does NOT include most creeks and rivers, which closes to shrimping today.
