Summary: A private individual who grew up on the Gulf Coast supports the renewal of Amendment 19. They argue that the regulation is necessary to prevent under-shrimping and over-shrimping, and that the amendment has been effective in protecting ocean life.
This is an important regulation that needs to be renewed. Growing up on the Gulf, you learn so much about the ocean life and how it's protected and regulated. Under-shrimping and over-shrimping can affect the ocean life and can be potentially dangerous. It's important to have regulations and permits in place to help reduce some of these dangers and concerns. It's worked and regulated the shrimping the entire time this Amendment has been in place, so renewing it for the next ten years is the right choice.
