Save Our Shrimpers Act
A bill to require the United States Executive Directors at the international financial institutions to oppose certain projects involving shrimp production.
The "Save Our Shrimpers Act" (SB4805) aims to ensure that U.S. Executive Directors at international financial institutions, like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, oppose projects that could negatively affect shrimp production. This bill was introduced on June 17, 2026, and was immediately referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations for further consideration.
This legislation would mainly impact shrimp producers and communities reliant on shrimping for their livelihood. By opposing certain projects, the bill seeks to protect domestic shrimp industries from potential harm caused by international funding initiatives.
As of June 17, 2026, the bill has been introduced and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. Further steps include committee review, possible amendments, and a vote. The bill's progress will depend on the committee's recommendations and the broader Senate's decisions.
