Objective 3.
To inventory
shrimp industry assets to provide a basis for further action.
2.3.a. Action Plan
As a precursor to
developing a comprehensive marketing plan, the industry has requested
an independent, unbiased inventory of its assets. Drs. Mark Henry and
David Barkley of Clemson University conducted a survey and study of the
South Carolina shrimp trawling industry in 1999. In the past four years
significant changes with related economic impacts have occurred in the
shrimp industry. A new survey and study of the industry is needed to
update the 1999 data and to provide current information for developing
long range plans for the sustainability of the industry. This study will
include but not be limited to a survey of the following industry information:
number of commercial shrimpers, docks/buildings, annual shrimp catch,
number of boats by size, age, and other characteristics, and linkages
to other marketing channels. Survey data will be used to analyze profitability,
marketing strategies, business planning, and other alternatives for successful
business operation. The survey will be funded from the "South Carolina
Only" appropriation and will be completed within the first
six months.
