Commercial Gulf Shrimp Season Opens July 15
· Texas Border Business
The commercial shrimp season in the Gulf of America will reopen on July 15, 30 minutes after sunset, for both state and federal waters. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) determines the reopening date based on data from June's bag seine and trawl sampling, which assesses juvenile and adult shrimp populations. This data helps predict when shrimp will reach a target size of four inches and ensures the sustainability of the shrimp resource. Both state and federal waters will open simultaneously, as the National Marine Fisheries Service has aligned its regulations with Texas.
