The 2013-2014 shrimp fishing season for Sinaloa ocean shrimpers begins at midnight on September 15th.
Beginning September 6th at 8am, estuaries will be open for shrimp fishing.

At a meeting of the National Moratorium Committee yesterday in Mexico City, ocean shrimpers warned that if estuary fishermen did not respect the law and begin harvesting before September 6th, they would not sit idly by. Estuary shrimpers proposed they begin on September 3rd or 4th, a proposal that was not accepted.

“It was agreed that if they (estuary fishermen) violate the moratorium, the high seas boats will head out to sea (earlier).”
