But understand, SCA does what they do within the confines of the rules (in Texas). Finite number of licenses so buy the licenses. Shazaam, less shrimpers. Maybe we will even get our flounder back (after the raping the shrimpers do on juvy populations). There's no debating it, shrimping is awful on the ecosystem when done to excess. But then again, what isn't harmful done to excess.

I have lived on the TX Gulf coast all my life & we fished off shore regularly for 15 years. I have seen exactly 2 Ridleys sea turtles, both alive, but I have seen thousands of dead baby fish. Trout, red fish, croaker, flounders & crabs, killed by bay shrimpers. Bay shrimping & shrimping close to the beach should be against the law.
