Debate, disagreement highlights CMR meeting
Discussions and disagreements about regulating oyster season and the shrimp industry highlighted Tuesday’s meeting of the Mississippi Commission on Marine Resources.

…The staff’s recommendation that the CMR form a shrimp task force was also rejected. Chairman Richard Gollott spoke against the idea, saying it was simply “another bureaucracy.”
