A Voice for American Small Pelagics

We oppose eight recreational fishing groups and businesses seeking an emergency menhaden ban off New York and New Jersey. Their petition ignores science, surveys finding abundant young menhaden and recreational fishing’s role in striped bass deaths. smallpelagics.com/press/recr…

The @foragefishcmpgn's Whit Fosburgh made several misleading claims about menhaden on The Qualified Captain podcast. We’ve corrected the record on 12 of those claims, addressing the science, fishing rules, American jobs & coastal communities at stake. smallpelagics.com/press/whit…
