New law will force Georgia restaurants to disclose the origin of their shrimp

• Coastal Georgia is renowned for its hospitality as well as for its shrimp-abundant estuaries and waterways.
• However, many dining spots along the coast do not source their seafood locally, while allowing patrons to assume that they do.
• Cheaper foreign imports have flooded the seafood market in the United States, selling farm-raised shrimp at significantly lower price points and making it increasingly difficult for local shrimpers to compete effectively.
