New England's shrimp fishery will remain shut down because of concerns about the health of the crustacean's population amid warming ocean temperatures. The fishery has been shut down since 2013.
The board last voted to extend the existing moratorium on commercial fishing of the shrimp in 2018. The board could have decided to reopen the fishing industry on Friday, but chose not to in the face of discouraging news from scientists. “Temperature data continues to show unfavorable conditions for northern shrimp,” Hunter said. “The status of the stock continues to be poor.”
