• Shrimpgate update: New labeling law and federal seafood office signal change for industry (wpde.com) — McClellanville shrimpers are watching closely as a new South Carolina bill moves through the legislature that would require clear country-of-origin labels on all shrimp sold in the state. Local industry leaders say the proposal, along with a new USDA Office of Seafood, could boost demand for wild-caught shrimp, improve fairness against cheap imports, and help preserve the town’s working-waterfront heritage. 
• These 6 SC cities and towns are truly hidden gems, Travel + leisure says. Here's why (thestate.com) — McClellanville gets spotlighted as a “coastal retreat” and top-notch fishing village in a new Travel + Leisure–promoted podcast series on South Carolina’s hidden gems.
