SUMMARY: South Mississippi shrimpers have faced significant challenges this year due to harmful cheap imports, prompting federal action to support the domestic shrimping industry. Ryan Bradley of Mississippi Commercial Fisheries discussed a recent determination by the International Trade Commission, which imposes tariffs on shrimp imports from four countries: Ecuador, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam. These countries are responsible for 90% of imported shrimp, and the tariffs are expected to raise prices and benefit local shrimpers. Bradley emphasized the strict regulations for wild-caught shrimp in Mississippi compared to the poorly regulated farming practices in these countries. Further insights on the 2024 shrimp season will be shared later.

SUMMARY: The weather outlook is currently quiet, as the tropical conditions in the Gulf remain calm with no major developments expected. Despite some weak signals, nothing threatening is anticipated for South Mississippi. While there’s mild mistiness in certain areas, temperatures are warming up, with highs expected in the 70s. A front is approaching from Arkansas, which might lead to spotty showers overnight, but significant moisture is lacking. Following the front’s passage, clearer and cooler air will arrive, particularly after Thanksgiving, when another stronger front will bring cooler, drier conditions. Overall, peaceful weather continues for the time being.
