weather over the last several months helped production and size in this years shrimp crop.
We didnt have any winter to speak of, and the shrimp grew fast, Mr Burrage said. The oil spill of 2010 is behind us, as are the closings that happened last year when the Bonnet Carre Spillway was opened to handle flooding in other areas.
High winds have prompted small craft advisories, so smaller shrimp boats are either staying docked or working in less productive locations where the weather is better.
