US Department of State Determines Shrimp Imports from Australian Fisheries Do Not Pose a Threat to Sea Turtles

Summary

The US Department of State has determined that shrimp harvested from Australia's Queensland East Coast Trawl Fishery, the Torres Strait Prawn Fishery, and the Exmouth Gulf Prawn Managed Fishery do not pose a threat to sea turtles. As a result, the importation of these shrimp is no longer prohibited under US law.
