Georgia is right there with you! The 8 state US Shrimpers Coalition is petitioning the Dept of Commerce and ITC to put a stop to Ecuador and other countries dumping by petitioning them to investigating trade violations. We are shrimpers representing shrimpers. No more processors or SSA claiming to represent us, just shrimp harvesters and dock owners demanding action to stop the floodgates of imports. If you are a shrimper or dock owner and want to be part of the petition, NOT supporting other people using your info and not representing you, GCFA or LSA, SCSA, TSA or SFA-Fl, MUCF or NCFA will be happy to send you a form to sign on with us.
