Georgia’s coastline is home to rich seafood resources that support coastal communities, local economies, and healthy diets across the state.
Shrimp, crab, flounder, and many other species are harvested from Georgia waters and processed by a robust network of seafood businesses. Together, these fisheries and processors provide fresh, local seafood while sustaining jobs and coastal heritage.
Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant supports Georgia’s seafood industry and consumers by offering training programs, partnering on research, sharing regulatory updates, and connecting networks of fishermen, processors, retailers, and communities.
