| Shrimp
and Tourism in South Carolina
Dr. William C. Norman (Director,
RTTI) & Laura W. Jodice (Research Associate,
RTTI) are working in partnership with the South
Carolina Shrimp Association, South Carolina Seafood
Alliance, and the Southern Shrimp Alliance (SSA)
to study shrimp and tourism in South Carolina.
RTTI is working with an interdisciplinary team
of Clemson researchers (lead by Clemson Public
Service) cooperating with the South Carolina
Shrimp industry to develop a marketing plan for
shrimp harvested in South Carolina. This is an
effort to differentiate domestic shrimp from
imports and promote a stable market with fair
prices for the shrimp industry in South Carolina.
This marketing effort is part of a broader effort
for the Southeast Region of the US. The work
is funded by federal funds allocated by the US
Congress through the NOAA National Marine Fisheries
Service.
