Shrimp boats are docked in this vibrant sunset scene. Shrimp harvesting in the United States is about a half billion dollar a year industry. With nearly 300 million pounds of shrimp brought in annually, there are many boats, like the ones seen in this puzzle, working the waters off shore. Even so, demand for shrimp in the U.S. is far greater that our ability to produce, so most shrimp consumed in America is brought in from South America and East Asia.
