Stocks of the shrimp have been declining for several years, leading regulators to cancel the New England shrimping season. The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission judged the stocks of the popular shrimp, also known as northern shrimp, to be dangerously low. The Gulf of Maine shrimp stock "Is in the poorest condition that we've seen it," says marine biologist Kelly Whitmore, who leads the technical committee that recommended the fishery's closure. Just three years ago, he explains, Cozy Harbor was shipping thousands of metric tons of Gulf of Maine shrimp, much of it ending up on the shelves of markets in places like the United Kingdom, Sweden and Denmark.
