What is "Sport Shrimping?" Sport Shrimping is what we do for sport, food, fun and camaraderie while, most importantly, being environmentally friendly. It consists of wading in the grass flats at night, picking up shrimp, one at a time, (sometimes two) in a dip net or an "Ozello Shrimper." We keep the larger shrimp and release the smaller shrimp for another day. Sport shrimping leaves the environment as it is found and causes minimal adverse impact. Other methods of shrimping such as dragging a net or seine, collects all living things and grass, killing most in the process. It is not Sport Shrimping and should be discouraged. |
